Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting Scope for a 308 24” Tikka CTR?

Yes, and as big as a big truck tire at 500..


I don't think the OP has really given any details on what type of "targets" he intends to shoot at. I asked earlier. Maybe he is still thinking that one out? It's as simple as this: Do you want to shoot the yote in the head, or make a pop shot with minimum power scopes and hope and pray you hit the body? What kind of precision are you after? None of this "reticle subtension" bull shidt.. We all know that if you pair the right sized target with a certain magnification and reticle, you can hit said target, but how precise do you want to be? You want to be able to hit an egg at 3 or 400 yards? You aren't going to be doing that with a 6x scope. Some of the guys I shoot with will hit a golf ball at 500 yards. Again, you aren't going to be doing that with a low power scope. Lets hear from the OP what his intended target is and that will give us a better idea of what the optimum choice may be. Again, this is the "long range" forum. Maybe the question should have been asked in the optics forum or regular hunting forum??? I can only relay what I use on my Tikka CTR's for shooting long range targets..





The CTR's are some of my favorite rifles. Very precise shooting, why limit them with a low powered scope?
