Long story short Pops is 75 now...still hunts but more of a box stand 75 yard shot type deal.

They are downsizing houses and I am helping him sort through 50yrs of hunting shit...he hands me his Swaro PV 3-12x50.

This damn scope has laid down some monsters is several states.....obviously I will keep it forever.

I have been hunting the last 5 yrs with a nicely tweaked tikka t3 stainless 25-06 with an older large ziess conquest on it. Killed a lot of deer and have utmost confidence in it.

My conundrum is do I just put the swaro on the tikka cause I love it so much or do I buy/build something special in another 25-06 or possibly a 7mm08 or similar to carry Pops old scope.

If I did another gun budget would be a grand or so.
