Ya it will be a nice set up. Too bad it is not for me. Returning a favor by setting up a gun for my step-son. It must be nice to be young and don't have the spending guilt disease yet.
Used the low version of the Tikka Opti lock system with a
Leupold VX 3 6.5x20x40 with no clearance issues.
Cheek weld is consistent; repetitive optical alignment using this setup.
Well, since its a Magnum, all be it a relatively small Magnum, and I don't want any second guessing by the owner, I think I am going for the Optilocks. In for a penny, in for a pound...
I would go with the Talley lightweights, or even Leupold bases and rings, but I wouldn't spend twice the money on the optilocks and gain no extra strength or reliability.
