Upgrade from a Tikka T3x 270

Just being a punk lol

That’s true but both rifle still would be about the same within reasonable hunting distance. What’s separates them is the longs shot where the creedmoor will keep up better. In my opinion anyway.

look at that new Howa Randy Newberg edition. topped with a scope and has a nice stock. Guaranteed to shoot sub moa i believe.

Well by the way as an update, got the PR Elevation in 6.5 for a good deal, so bought it.

Man you weren't kidding about upgrading from the Tikka! Sweet!

You basically have your custom rifle there. I hunt with a ballistic scope. The scope has an illuminated MOA reticle. Big difference from the standard duplex scope. The turrets stick up a bit more but I always have the neoprene cover on till I am ready to shoot. Most higher quality scopes have a good click set. You have to really knock the turrets around to put them off. It becomes a quick habit to check the turrets for zero anyway. Congrats on your choice!

Absolutely. If you compare the ballistics of both rounds you will see that the creedmoor shoots a lot straighter

At the same distance with same grains, which one has more KE/killing power?
