    Nice choice. Rifle looks really good. I've just purchased a rifle very similar. Mine is RH bolt, bolt fluting and DPT instead of hardy and vx3.

    I went back and forth on the scope for a week but went with the VX2 4-12X40 AO LR in the end. Looking forward to getting to a range when I get it!

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    A couple of newbie questions.
    I'm interested in the best practise for breaking in a new rifle, from what I read it is a matter of putting rounds through it and cleaning in between them.
    I would also like to learn the best way to clean and maintain my new rifle (Tikka T3x 308) - I was sent this kit when I purchased it - http://www.gunslick.com/products/cle...aningkits.aspx

    Thanks in advance for the advice.

    Tim

    That kit is okay, but I would get some Hoppes or Boretech for getting carbon and copper out.
    Or foaming cleaner if you don't like scrubbing away.
    Plus I would recommend a one piece cleaning rod.

    Dont be too worked up with the breaking a new barrel in.
    Some people scrub it clean after each shot as part of their break-in routine, but a decent quality barrel, which a Tikka is, wont have rough machining marks.
    So just flush any oil out before you fire it the first time with brake-cleaner of meths and give the barrel a good clean after a box of ammo has been fired and at the end of the day.

    I leave a light coat of Hoppes inside the barrel for storing away.
