    Hi Guys.

    i just got a Tikka t3 varmint stainless in left hand. wohoooooo. im putting the bushnell yardage pro scope on it. i thought i could get a picatinny rail to bolt on top without too much hassle but there doesn't seem to be anyone out there selling them. Ardee sent my gun dealer up a rail but its for a different model. Does the rail from a tactical fir on? The 4 studs look to be the same distance apart. Does anyone catagorically know if this can be done? or does anyone have a second hand rail from a tactical to sell?? Thanks in advance for any help.

    boc121. the scope is a dream. real clarity and the rangefinder is as accurate as a stand alone rangefinder.
    nutta1 my rifle is in .223. fired 7 different types of ammo out of it on sunday. ran into a real problem with barrel heat. the silencer could fry an egg by the end of the session. funny though the two brande that worked best were the cheapest and the most expensive - american eagle and hornady match.
