I put a SWFA 3-9x42 HD on a Tikka T3X Superlite after I had barrel cut to 22 inches. I bought this set up mainly for the grand kids to use on moose, caribou and bears. I wanted all of us to learn to use the mil system at the range and eventually practice out to 600 yards. It seems like a good scope for the little cartridge and should allow good hits out to 300 yards if we do our part. I know the internet and TV boasts many long range kills with the 6.5 Creed, were not in that bunch and doubt we will ever have to shoot must past 200 yards.
Any way that 3-9 should allow for good shooting at the range and good shooting when hunting, it is a good compromise for our needs.
