If your plan is to deer hunt with it, practice and sight with the conditions similar to actual hunting. You may know this already but it is a common mistake I have seen guys do. Never rest the barrel on the edge of the deer blind or a tree branch when shooting. Always use the stock.

New rifles are always fun!!!

Good advice from 03L. The only thing I would suggest is to get a good pair of binoculars. Don't use your rifle scope to scan deer and be sure to take your time as you scan. Most of the time you'll see movement before seeing the actual deer so it's better hold for a few seconds before moving on to the next area. Scan continuously. My brother swears deer mysteriously appear from a vapor emitted by cedars.

+1 Deers like ghosts only appear before sun rise and just after sunset

For my eyes 14X to 24X seens what I use most for target shooting.

My deer rifle:

The scope is an accessory. Is it the Tikka T3, the scope or you?

1) It is hand-loaded round, a Premium SKM bullet
2) It is Tikka T3, 1-MOA rifle.
3) It is Bushnell Elite with 30X magnification
4) It is Tulley solid base
5) It is Zeroed in an indoor 100-yrd lane.
6) It is the target with Orange over black.
7) It is the use of Bipod on solid bench.
8) It is the shooter.

It is all the above. Yeah, the shooter in 8) needs all the help he can afford to get a sweet grouping. The hand load finally did the trick.

I have this scope on my Tikka T3. I can lay 5-rds in same the hole at 100 yrds.

Get a nice upper mid-range Leupold for around $600-$700.

Something like this one:

Consider also, a Tikka or Sako A7 for a value rifle consider Ruger American.
