Lots of good advice. I have a Tikka T3X. It’s great. In laws have T3’s. They are also great. But lots of good gun choices mentioned. The caliber is a pick em.
If you need to save on the scope, consider a Nikon. They are getting out of the game, but don’t let that fool you. I have a set of Monarch 5 binocs that are 9 years old and it has been great. I’m using a prostaff 7 scope and I’m very happy with it. In its price range I got far better value than the entry level leupold; however that was new in box. Used you can get some great deals that will give you choices, but just food for thought.
I know somebody who uses a basic Nikon prostaff 3-9x50 that he got at cabelas, and it works just fine! $200 scope and does job fine.
Buy once cry once is so true in scopes, but you can go through a few seasons fine with a Nikon then buy that Leupold/Swarovski/Zeiss/Nightforce and have it last a lifetime.
Are you really going to shoot past 300 yards on your first deer? Not likely.
