Home Forums Reloading Varmint Rifles Great Deal on a Tikka Varmint Rifle

The scope looks higher than it is. I used medium rings. It's 0.55 inches off the barrel. We shoot informal silhouette matches and it's easier with the higher scope. It's actually a compromise. If I was doing that seriously, the scope would be different and mounted higher. We shoot plates from 40 to 100 yd. We used to have pigs, chickens, etc., but they got chewed up, so we just put up steel plates now. We also don't bother with removing or installing scopes. Some guys shoot with scopes. Other guys - the serious ones - prefer iron sights.
