No, it's not a Tikka and no I'm not buying a Meopta. I'd like 6.5CM shooters input on getting a scope that can match the long range potential of the cartridge. I know a few guys bought some high-powered Vortex Viper scopes a few months ago. Any strong scope deals out there at present?

Congrats on the new gun. I just picked one up in .308 and will be needing to pick a scope soon as well.

My son has a Nikon prostaff 5, 3.5x14 50mm. For the money it is a really nice setup. And FYI his American 6.5 shoots better groups than my tikka.

I have the Ruger American Predator as well but mine is in .308. Fitted with a silencer and it is a tack driver. It's really an amazing gun for the money

I have a Zeiss Conquest 4-12x50 on mine.

Mash here for a new Vortex Viper 6.5-20x50 Mild-dot for $299 shipped
Just picked up 4 of these and you won't find a better scope for that price. Almost $200 off regular price

Zeiss or nothing for me on all my long guns, can't beat them for clarity at long range

That's a rifle that goes out of stock as soon as it hits the shelves here. I'm going full on 6.5 douche bag. 6.5G on the AR. And I want a 6.5C on a bolt. If I ever find one on the shelf I'm going to pick it up.
