    My next scope will probably be a Sightron STAC 4-20 which I don't have a lot of feedback on yet, but the price is right.

    Btw, the SWFA ss-Tac mounts are also a great value, I lapped mine and the wear pattern was 90% almost immediately – much better fit than my DNZ freedom reaper mount (not saying one is better than the other just that even pricey mounts can need lapping).

    Hey Eric,
    On the ss tac mounts, (paired with the sightron stac 4-20, would the “low” mounts work?

    Once my rifle arrives what is a good bullet (s) to try for 100-300yrds?  I know I'll have to go with a heavy round when I eventually get out over 500yrds but not sure what I should start with for zeroing scope and just practicing on paper that won't break the bank

    Ordered a t3 varmint in .223 with Berserk stock last night and having the barrel threaded.  Can't wait!!!

    Anyone know if the varmint barrel is threaded for muzzle break or suppressor?

    Probably stay in the 300-500 range like the 2 listed above (swfs ss and STAC 4-20)

    Thanks for the insight Eric.

    That Sightron STAC 4-20 looks great and the glass seems really nice for the price.  Might have to rethink the ss 10x. 

    I've also used the swfa rings and they were great.  I didn't lap them but will on this build.  What base will you be using?  20MOA?

    Thanks guys for the great info!  Definitely sounds like an 8″ twist is the way to go.

    Is the varmint worth the extra money over the lite if I were to put on one of the berserk stocks? 

    Here's what I'm thinking:

    Tikka T3 with a long barrel 8″ twist and threaded for possible suppressor down the road in a 223
    Berserk stock
    Swfa ss 10x fixed scope moa/moa
    20 moa performance series gen2 picatinny base (not sure if this is best for my scope)
    Harris 6-9″ swivel bi-pod
    Rings?
    SS recoil lug
    Mountain tactical performance bolt shroud

    Missing anything?  Thoughts?
    Any idea what tika performance shop will charge to install the stock prior to shipping?
