7mm08

[bitesize]

So I just ordered a Tikka 7-08. Got ammo and suppressor just need scope- what would you get? Will be used mostly as kids gun not shooting much past 150yds. Budget for scope is <$1500. Thanks

The Trijicon for $600.

For kids, get the Leupold VX-5 with the fire dot. My kids love them

Trijicon 4-16X50 w/ MOA dot. Easy to get behind. Got one on a 7mm08 if you want to take a look at it.

Pro tip. Take you a piece of wood and use a saw and sandpaper to shape it to the contour of the stock. You'll likely need it to bring the kids' eye up the level of the cross hairs.

Solid advice, I used a rag under the pad to get the lift but like your idea better. As far as the scope, I put one of these on the boys 243 and it’s been great. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produ...port_r_rd.html

I picked up two metal threaded hooks from the hardware store. Then drilled pilot holes in the piece of wood and threaded them in. After that, I used a stout set of wire cutters to cut the hook end off, leaving an inch or so of metal. Used a small file to clean up the edges, then held the wood up to the stock, marked my spots and drilled the pilot holes from the top down. Dropped the metal shafts down into the pilot holes in the stock.

Removed the wood, primed the wood then painted with a matte black paint and viola.

I believe there was one in the trading post.

Meopta MEOPRO 6-18X50 Hard to beat for $375; even more difficult when the military price is applied.

Granted, it's not illuminated & the reticle isn't fancy. However, the clarity at 18x seems slightly a tad better than my Trijicon Credo HX at 15x in a side-by-side comparison.

Buy 4-5 boxes of 140 grain accubonds, 8 pounds of Varget, good brass, and slay everything in NA. 42 grains of Varget under a 140 is an index load. If your rifle won’t shoot it, something’s wrong.
If you don’t reload, you should. You’ll never be one of those DA’s on some site begging for ammo…

150grn NBT, CT, AB over 45.5grn H4350 or H414 and a WLR is money too. I got better groups from that than Varget in the 708 been running that load for 25yrs.

This will be my first Tikka- what do y’all recommend for rings- scope mount?

I'm pretty sure most people will say Talley. Do you have a pic rail or Weaver mounts?

I just got a set of these for an old Tikka 7mm Mag (M695) I'm "revamping" -- https://warnescopemounts.com/2tm-war...h-matte-rings/
