First off, I would re-think your scope choice. Look at, Leupold VX-3i, 3.5-10 or Leupold VX-5HD 2-10 or Swarovski Z3 3-10 or Z5 2.4-12. You can either get a dial or reticle option for shooting longer distances.
If you are set on the Tikka you could upgrade the stock if you don't like it down the road or look at a Sako or Christensen arms.
If it was me I would put the $3000 into 1 set up. Cartridge choice - I would stick with a 30-06 or 270, sometimes I wish I did. Animal won't know the difference. Less recoil in the 270 in the same rifle.
