Thread: Hello from the 09

The jury is in. Ended up going with:

Tikka T3x Left Handed 308
Hardy Supressor
Harris Bipod

Still deciding on a scope but more then likely the Leupold VX2 4-12 x 40 AO LR

Thanks all for the advice looking forward to perhaps meeting some of you at some stage.

What calibre?

Sorry 308

Sounds good, I have the same scope on my Sako .223.

One thing im struggling to wrap my head around. It is advised everywhere I read to zero the Vx2 at 200yard. I was under the impression I would zeroing my scope at 100m - if I do this, will the LR reticle then be off?

Don't worry, just zero it at 100m, the various LR reticles will only line up to exact distances at different scope magnification levels.

If you are lucky they may even be all spot on at a certain power. Mine is when on 12 power shooting 55gn Hornady VMax reloads.
Hence I was able to nail turkeys with it at 400m using the reticle.

For example. 200m zero.
On 12x using 65gn Gamekings. The distances are a mix.


Back it down to 8.5 and things line up nicely.

What app is that that your using there?

Looks like there is a lot to learn! Looking forward to it! Is this the app to get?

It's good, there are better ones out there, but at 5 times the cost of Strelok.

Yes is on google play store also and free!!! there are a few PC free programs also.
