Im so used to the Bergara that when I took the Tikka for a walk I couldn’t remember how much was involved when a deer popped out in front of me. Something to be said about single shot auto pilot....

Put a similar sized scope on the tikka as that which is on your bergara and you’ll have a great wee bush rifle. I tried red dots at one stage but having some magnification helps

On second thoughts if you’re hunting in open country for a start a second hand range finder is your priority eg an old leupold too - they are rugged and bombproof. Look for a VX 1 ( no longer made...

Sounds like its a Leupold VX3 3.5-10 for you. No need for CDS illumination or whatever if its your first scope. Simple is good. Look for a second hand retro one - the warranty will be good so ots...

what is the rifles job going to be? Id be pushing you towards something like a .243 for a low recoil but also big game capable 223 on big game is marginal for someone starting out
