After picking up an ACOG in the classifieds I’m thinking I’ll put it on the 12.5”.

This means the Kahles 1-6 won’t have a home!

So I’m thinking POF Rogue or whatever else might tickle my fancy as a host for the Kahles.

What ya got for a recommendation?

Oooh... And I thought I was sitting good with a Leupold 4.5-14x50AO looking for a host.

I think a Kahles would look good on a European bolt action, maybe with fancy wood?

Keep talking like a Sako 85 Classic in 375 H&H

I run a 1-8 NF on my Rogue, and love it!

If you're wanting a semiauto .308, I think you're on the right track with POF.

Get the POF Rogue if you want absolute lightest weight.

Or the POF Revolution DI (newer/direct impingement) if you want some extra bells and whistles and are okay with just a few extra ounces.

Or the POF Revolution (original/piston) if you insist on it being piston-driven.


A POF Revolution DI will almost certainly be my next rifle purchase.

JDI has a few 550/551 rifles in stock if you want to stay European.

Hadn’t paid much attention to the revolution but that IS nice!

I don’t know why but I’m on a bolt gun kick right now, I’m sure it’s a phase but I’ll have to think hard about that revolution.

How about a Tikka T3x Arctic?

Its certainly unique ...

Unless you're just enamored with the blaze orange laminate stock, or for whatever reason feel a burning desire to dress up as a Canadian Ranger, you'd almost certainly be better off with a T3x Compact Tactical.

All the same features (same calibers, same 20" barrel, same stainless finish, same 10 round mag, etc.), just with a black synthetic stock, and no iron sights to deal with - which are redundant since he's specifically looking for a host for an existing scope.

Beretta has a new bolt that looks good, but I have only seen them in a synthetic stocks. Plus I think they have yet to be brought over.

Tikka/Sako are good choices. But maybe something from Germany? Like Sauer. Or Mauser...
