I ordered one on Friday when they were $450 instead of $600. I don't plan on putting it on my go-to hunting rifle, but on my Tikka CTR. For now the Tikka is a range rifle, but I could hunt with it. I'll play with it at the range for a few months and if I feel comfortable enough may use it next fall. I currently have a fixed 6X on the Tikka. I wanted more X's for longer shots at the range but felt the fixed 10X was not versatile enough.
