Don’t do anything about a scope yet, mil scopes work fine, and I have an Athlon that dials very precisely
I see you are scoring on a Shotmarker, it is easy to go into the settings on the device you are using and change the grid to mils, it displays as a 0.2 mil grid
Your tikka should feed fine without a sled, mine do

PM me your phone number and I will send you a picture of the bag I made, it is easy to make and works well

What cal is yours? Unless I'm doing something wrong mine absolutely refuses to single feed ha.
And yeah the scope is just a potential to keep in mind thing at this stage.

I have or have had in the past just about every caliber they make, the only one that needs a sled is 223

Interesting, maybe I'm doing something wrong but if I try and single feed mine the bolt just jams agaist the round.

I ordered a bag from Tacti-Sac. I had a chat with the manager and he helped me find the right bag so that's on it's way so that I can get used to it next time I shoot.

Which mag do you use? The single stack or a double stack?
I've made sleds for both of mine. They're just 3d printed but they work. Post a pic of your mag.
https://imgur.com/a/O6WHWwiIt's a single stack magazine, standard Tikka 5 round magazine.
With that, what filament did you print your 3D print your sled with? Was it a public blueprint or did you put it together yourself? I have access to a 3D printer so I could just print one.

Bang for buck - Vortex Strike Eagle ($1500 - VRA shop has for $1,250)
Just put one on my 300 and a fair chunk of PRS guys are running these... very clear glass lifetime replacement warranty and easy to deal with
Nightforce - Expensive, but deals can be found (won't find much under $1k)
Sightron - found them comparable to nightforce and a little more "cost effective"
Leupold - very nice, oooh yeah very nice.. larger $$ but have a repair centre/workshop in aus and provide fantastic back up support

Thanks, I'll scope out these options so that I already have my sights set on one when it's time to elevate my glass quality.
