HI, I recently picked up a Tikka T3x Superlite 6.5 Creedmoor that I plan on using for a elk hunt in November in Montana. I have been practicing with and was planning on using a Savage Model 11 Trophy Hunter 6.5 Creedmoor but I have had so many problems with it I decided to upgrade to the Tikka.
I need a recommendation on a good scope for the Tikka. I don't want to spend a arm and a leg (this trip is already costing a ton) but something I can rely on and be comfortable with for a elk hunt in Montana. The Savage has the Nikon BDC 3-9x40 reticle. I thought about just using that and moving it to the Tikka but wasn't sure. So many options on scopes but don't really want to spend more than 500$ on a scope if I need to buy one. Thoughts?
