I've just ordered the Sako a few days ago, but it's going to be 6 months before it gets here.
At the moment my .308 is "my" rifle and the .243 is my partners.
I'm selling my .308 now and using the Tikka until the Sako arrives.
Then I'll be taking the Sako and giving her the Tikka (and selling the .243 - the problem with the .243 is she's not allowed to shoot Sambar/Rusa/Red deer down here with it.)
A bit of a process, but at the end if it we'll both have rifles for all deer down here, I'll have the Sako, and she'll have the cheaper Tikka. She doesn't shoot that much so not justified spending anything more on it.
RE: The scope - It's my 'do-it-all-scope'. Obviously the top 2/3rds magnification is wasted for hunting, I only ever have it on 4-10x max in the field, the rest for fun at the range.
In time I'm going to add a bench rifle to the safe and the 4-30x will go on the bench rifle. I plan to get the same scope in the 2.5-16x version when that happens for the hunting rifle.
I like the scope anyway and it does the job
