hughston very nice well presented rifle ! you've made some pretty decent upgrades , the lens covers don't annoy you at all ? hmm i thought them dave water mags looked pretty good whats the problem with them ? you should have a look at the lucky 13 line of stuff for the tikka's they look promising there mags look well built and they have a gen 4 coming out in may there Australian made and prices are decent ,hearing pretty good things on zeiss from a few people here .
May wait and try out the new tikka t3x they seem like they could be okay , actually tried to pre-order one today but they do not know the eta he reckons could be up to 6 months and there not sure on the price but they also reckon roughly the same prices maybe a few hundred extra (i very highly doubt that) so didn't bother just yet until more details are released
