Buying a Tikka T3 in a .30-06. Would this scope be a good choice? Also, does it come with lens covers?

yes it would be a Great choice! The optics are very clear, the scope is easy to sight in, and I'm getting sub moa groups out of my weatherby 30-06 with it. It does come with lens covers, but they are for storage, they are not the "flip up" kind.

Scope choice is, of course, dependent on what you plan to do with your rifle. This scope would be a fine choice for hunting out to medium range (say, 350 yards) with a .30-06. It does not come with scope covers, however, Leupold, Butler Creek and others have many models suitable for this scope.

I have my VX -1 mounted on a Ruger Mini-30, which is, as you know 7.62x39. It works well for this caliber, but I can't give you much more input than that. I would suggest you go to the Leupold website and ask their tech service through their advice link, if the scope is OK for .30-06. I do have a VX-3 3.5 - 10 X 40 on my Remington 700 .30-06 and it does a good job. My VX-1 did come with a lens cover rubber stretch type - pretty basic but did the job until I got some good flip ups .

I am not sure if it will fit on the .25-06. Having said that it fit on my 300 tikka t3 lite and performs better than I expected.

I have it on a 30-06 and its flawless so far. I have put maybe 300 rds through rifle with this set up and not problems at all. I would just make sure to have the right rings for it. You want the rings that will get you closest to the barrel but this has a large 50mm Objective lens so it's probably mid rings, not low rings. I like the utg max rings due to have 4 screws to secure this puppy down well.

I don't foresee any problem with a good set of mounts. I have one on my .243 for years and have had no problem. I wouldn't hesitate putting it on my 30.06. BTW - I like the Tasco better than my Leupold in low light conditions.

btw...my tasco world class3-9x40mm loses clarity with sundown or lower light. I forgot to note this point in earlier comment. it's a damn good build and buy for the money (51.99) but, more demanding purposes will require a much better scope. p.s. this would not be my combat scope on an ar15 either.

I would recomend it if your on a budget. Its mounted on my sig 716 and shoots great. On a 3x3 tatget at 25 yrds we were getting really good groupings. Only took it out to 100yrds once. Very easy to dial in the moa to bring the shots where you want them.

This is a good scope for the money and is clear. The only issue is with eye alignment at 32x. Any movement and it becomes blacked out. I personally bought a Bushnell Tactical for my .308 and was the best decision. My Mueller 8-32x is on my .22lr Izhmash CM-2.

Both the front and rear covers flip up to offer some shade protection.It is a nice scope, the mounts come with it for the Picatinny rails. Use Blue lock tite on the screwsof the mounts, to ensure a secure fit.

It's a nice durable scope. I've read some people's reviews using it on their .308's and their .30-06's. I've got mine on just a .223 and the only problem I ran into was the scope mounts it came with. I had a hard time getting the fine tuning I wanted at 100yd. The mounts it comes with are see through. Two people besides myself tried to sight it in as well. With my previous scope using Winchester sliver tip ballistics I could group 3 shots the size of a dime. With this scope on none of us could get it that well dialed in. We all felt it was the mounts causing the issue. I've put new mounts on but sadly haven't been back out to try again. It's defiantly nice for the price with great zoom and view.

i haven't used the doubler yet, but can comment on the overall quality of this scope. Generally, it is decent quality, but after I did a quick laser boresight then took to the range, the battery was dead (yes, I made vertain that the scope was tuned off in the meantime)- make sure you purchase a few good spare batteries before you hit the range/hunt. The second issue is that it seems to not want to mount tight enough to the rail to keep it from loosening up after a few mags of shooting. Just my experience, yours may vary. Generally speaking, this is a good scope at a good price if you can't/don't want to spend the money on a Tri or Aim scope. i haven't used the doubler yet, but can comment on the overall quality of this scope.

It will be a little tight , but yes u should be fine. It's a great scope cover for the money. As long as your aware of what 13 bucks worth of quality you are getting if you get what I'm saying . If you want something that will keep your lenses from getting scratched and dirt out or what what not, this will suit the job nicely.. Hope this helps .

I would go with the P308 Nikon scope. It will give you the proper BDC for that projectile. Same scope, just designed for the 308 , you will not be sorry . I have one on my a r10 and it is spot on, (i do realize the pun there)

Robert, there are many out there but I use a leupold alumina flip up rifle scope cover matte on the rear and a aimpoint kilflash filter on the front. hope that helps.

Ron, I just bought one of these. Wondered if you found a scope, red dot, etc. that you liked. Thanks.

Yes. Btw this is the BEST scope I've ever used, & I've used scopes WAY more expensive!! Quality is awesome & lenses are Clear beyond belief. Hope it helps :)

The scope lenses are "huge" especially if you use the lens covers, and believe there is not enough clearance if you mount the scope directly to your Ruger. Would recommend an additional purchase of the UTG Low Profile Picatinny/Weaver adapter. It is about $12.50 and will give you more clearance to turn the lenses when adjusting distances. This will enable you to install any scope or mounts you purchase. The scope, when I purchased, was shipped from China and took over a month to receive, but have seen this scope as a Prime item, and shipment was estimated at 4-5 days.

I had the 50mm objective lens. So it wouldn't be the same. I went to my local hunting store and they had a chart. Might want to do that. Sorry I couldn't tell ya. But what I have found d out is, if you buy a scope that comes with covers, they are better quality than buyi g covers separately.
