Got the kid a Tikka Compact .243.

Couldn’t find any Sportsmatch rings in stock, but a rail I had here and low Mtn Techs isn’t too bad.

I think with a light weight 7”ish suppressor that this will serve him well until a Montana fits him.

I’m hoping Varget and 70s will shoot well, and have low enough recoil for him to shoot a lot until it’s suppressed.

I bought myself the same rifle in 308. It's wearing a proven 4x Leupold in low Weaver rings on a Mountain Tactical rail.

What scope is that?

Yeah that will be tame with a suppressor.

Nice rifle.

My daughter has the same in 308
It loves the 125s and reduced loads.
It also really likes the 125s going really fast.

Wonderful choice. I have a few of assorted models and they are still growing on me.
I’m sure he will enjoy it for years to come.
Take care!

I suspect there’s a pretty happy lad in the household today.
