Good point 8point,the newer leupolds offers 97% light transfer on the VXlll and the LPS models offer99.6% but money never used to be a problem,now it is.The first thing is to get the tikka T3 and save,save for a VXlll scope.Why have the accuracy of a T3 and not put a great scope on it.I came out with 220.00 extra from the gun show.My wife is going to have a medical procedure performed tomarrow,so there goes the money I made at the gun show.I love my liberty gunsafe,it only holds 25 long guns,but there is no getting in with out the electronic numbers.A 9volt battery operates it and a 2 year litheum back up battery stays charged as long as the 9 volt is ok,they said to change the 9volt once a year and never have to worry.Life time warrenty.590 lbs ,I still have my cheap 10 long gun safe,so I have enough.Once I get these doctor bills paid I am putting a tikka T3 on lay-a-way.Drop-Shot
