Talk me out of buying a rifle please

I'll talk you out of the tikka and into a winchester feather weight if you want.

I got bit by the scope bug.
Wanting a vx iii for the 270.

I think you have come to the wrong place.
What kind of price you gonna get on it? They had them here for $649 a while back.

I'm currently hunting with my dad's old remington 7600. It's a hell of a meat gun, and it weighs about 16 pounds. And it isn't mine.

Money in the bank until you need something else.

Talk me out of going buy a tikka T3 stainless superlight .30-06

I like Tikka, but is that really going to make you happy?

If it seems like a good idea after hunting season is over, come back and we'll talk about it (I like the Winchester, as well.)

The tikka is a great choice but don't choose 30-06. Go with either 270 or 270wsm. And if you going to get a leupold get the VX3 3.5-10x50. Other then that you are just wasting your money.

Just cause your dad and his dad shoot a 30-06 doesn't mean you need to. It's an old round an there's better choices for performance out there.

Is this the one with the camo stock? If so, don't buy the camo... At the way they change camo patterns it won't be cool in 10 years.

I bought a Sako A7 .30-06 in SS at Cabelas for that price 2 years ago, last time I looked you could still find them online for that price. They had 3 in Gonzales, I should have bought them all

Leupold makes a fine product but the rifleman series isn't where it starts you are better off buying a Vortex or Nikon of equal value, or buying a VX-2. I would put a rifleman on a .30-30 or something that's a bang around gun before I put it on that.

Don't buy a .30-06 buy a .243, .270, .7mm-08, .7mag, .308, .300 or some other round that you have never heard of much less seen in a store that will be damn near impossible to find ammo for and will cost you 2x as much money to buy.

Super light and cheap enough that damage is not a concern.

Come get the rifle from me. Forget about that pos scope though

NVM, just saw you made the purchase.

Get it and put a Trijicon on top. Accurate
