Don’t worry, after all, we must help you choose the best riflescope for your Tikka T1x. Keep a couple of things in mind while choosing and you are golden.
Build Quality
Make sure the scope you are going for is durable. While the recoil of Tikka T1x is not the worst thing in the world, it’s still not a zero recoil gun. The recoil will hit you back with a decent amount of force. That’s why, having a well-built riflescope is kind of a must.

Lens Quality
Lenses are the most important part of a scope. If you can’t see through the lenses properly, you will not have a good time while hunting or doing anything at all. That’s why, you need to choose a scope that features a good pair of lenses with good coatings and protection.
