I just bought a Tikka T3 Lite in stainless 270WSM and I put a leopold VariX 2 4x12x50. The whole outfit set me back a little over $800. Very, very accurate rifle right out of the box. If you look around for a used gun with todays market I bet you could get the same thing for around $500 or so. Onehorse turned me on to this set up and it is everything he said it would be. Very Pleased.:thumbup:
