Negative on the scope issues. That's what I thought it had to be at first too... I mean, it can't be the $1600 rifle right? Wrong! This rifle has had the mounts checked and rechecked, several sets of rings, and 2 different Vortex Viper HS scopes on top of it. Some major issues going on here. Really sucks as this was to be the wife's hunting rig this year (including a wyoming bison tag). This experience has been a complete disappointment. Luckily the Tikka we bought her for a quick replacement shoots lights out.
