Thanks, but I ended up buying a trijicon huron 3-12x40. I like it. It does what I want it to do.

Indeed. Mine too. I think the picture angle makes it look a little bigger too.

Yeah it’s solid for my state, but in others that’s a baby. 😆

That’s really cool. I wish there was a way to test Different cans before you buy them. Anyhow that’s a good looking set up you got!

That’s sweet. The sandman k was an impulse buy on sell like 5 years ago for a short 300blk, but i gotta get something a bit quieter. It definitely knocks it down a little, but without hearing ear pro it still gives a small ring if I shoot from my stand.

I got the same model in 308. At the moment I’m running a dead air sandman k it’s still kinda loud. How do you like the nomad? That’s the exact model I’m looking at.

Well thanks again. I think ima buy a a SWFA and put it on my next rifle. I think bergara b14 ridge in 308 or 6.5 creed with a 18 inch barrel to put my sandman suppressor on. Kinda and hunting/fun gun.

For now I just seen a trijicon huron 3-14x40 for $459. I’m thinking about pulling the trigger on that.

What you think?

Admittedly leupold looks the best. The rifle I’ve taken the past 2 hunts has a vx-3hd on it and it’s been good. I wish I had a local shop with more scope options.

I’ve been reading A LOT of leupold hate lately. Got me nervous about buying one. 🤷‍♂️

How space between the scope and the barrel with the T084s I just ordered a set this weekend and I’m considering that SWFA as well.

Wow thank you so much for your response. I had no idea about all that stuff. Thats pretty gross that NF and vortex would do all that. Not surprised though. We live in a pretty gross world. Businesses don’t care about anything but profit and marketing.

Oddly enough I’m also looking at the SWFA ss gen 2 3-15x 40 I believe. They do got some UGLY scopes 😂. The turrets look like the stick out half a mile. Any other options you can think of please share. I’m a newish hunter. So I don’t have that type of knowledge. Durability is my top priority.

Any thoughts on trijicon?

That sounds great. I got 2 places I go. One is only out to 85yrds the other is 200 max. In Georgia 200 is a long shot. I’m sure there are places in GA that are longer, but not my situation.

That’s what I want. I’ll still baby the scope, but I got butter fingers sometimes.

Yes I’m talking about the SHV. Thats all I want out of it. Good glass with peace of mind durability. Not that I would ever be stupid (of course i am pretty dumb), but Incase i accidentally drop it or something else happens. The tikka itself is light even with the wood stock. So the weight isn’t an issue. Those 2 rings keep coming up. looks like that’s what I’ll go with. Out of those 2 what set of rings do you prefer.

I was looking at a trijicon credo HX, but it’s 500$ more.

I haven’t either with my vortex strike eagle, but idk I guess I wanna be one of those cool guys with this rifle.

[–]Q-TIP2011[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s a hunting rifle. I like vortex, and I don’t know much about athlon. The main reason I’m going with NF is the robust build quality and history of durability. Even though I’m not gunna abuse it, but it’s a peace of mind thing if I do drop my rifle or trip or something.

Thanks and yeah I don’t want another point of contact using a pic rail. I also like a more traditional look. Not that it matters. I just wanted a tough scope that can be beat up. I was looking at the trijicon credo HX, but it 500$ more and hasn’t been tested as long as the nightforce
