That scope sure looks familiar lol. Good to see ya buddy!
Yeah. It didn't take long for it to get mounted on the rifle. They called me and told me it was in right when you left.

JMO, I would have it glass bedded. The way the recoil lug is designed makes it susceptible to slight shifts. Also, pay attention to the tightening sequence and torque spec for the two action screws. It matters. I have T3 300WSM in a Bishop stock. It has been glass bedded with marine tex. It kicks like a mule but is very accurate and light enough to carry all day. You made a good choice.

Very nice-the Tikkas are known for accuracy and I bet this one wont disappoint. What is the twist? I have wanted a Tikka in 6.5 Swede for awhile-the Scandinavians know how to make a 6.5 barrel as that is 'their' caliber. Congrats. PH
