Got it mounted, the front optilok base has a stop pin and these are the 1" low version. So plenty of room for caps as the scope end measures 50mm O.D..
The Conquest HD5 3-15x42 suits my hunting and has metal caps.
If I can call them in under 100 yds it should work.

The grip has more traction than normal, the swell gives a fuller feeling for my large hands, allowing a solid one hand grasp.
The angle is certainly different and comfortable. It lets my trigger finger adjust more freely.
This was something I had to consider unknown for awhile. It was about $19 extra with a 3 min swap.

I recently picked up a T3x varmint 223, haven't shot it yet but I do like the grip. Like tripod said, more vertical which I like and the texture feels better to me than on my old model T3 stocks.

That surprises me as I have had a number of Tikka's now. Most will shoot winchester white box 45 gr well. The Accutips have been consistant across the board. The winchester supreme noslers are a backup for me.
Good you found a factory round that does the job.
Just a sliver under 7.5 lbs mounted, fluting helps weight and balance.

I agree with the Winchester white box 45gr. Mine shoots those extremely well, and they're the cheapest 22-250 rounds i've seen for sale where I am. Only other factory round I've tried are Hornady Varmint Express 55gr. It didnt like those as much. Maybe too heavy?
