I just ordered a Meopta Optika 5 scope 2-10x42 for my Tikka 6.5 CM
When my wife finds out I will need a place to stay.
I am replacing it with my Vortex diamondback which is posted for sale in classifieds if anyone is interested.

It’s like I tell my kids, do as I say not as I do 🤣

I’d hide that thing for a year if it really were me 🤣

I put a new scope on a gun last sat. Wife asked and I simply said “this one needed a different scope.” We Didn’t even discuss the new rifle too! 🤣

Might as well buy a new rifle. If you’re gonna get in trouble anyways, might as well make it worth it.

Great scope and I agree, Meopta and Tikka, get pairing. I'm sure you'll be looking at an Optika6 3-18X50 or 4-20X50 to really stretch out the 6.5 CM. Check out Strelok Pro to figure out the point-blank zero for what you are shooting.

I may upgrade at some point but where I hunt the 2-10 will be fine. I rarely have a shot over 100 yards.
