Why does that matter? All he was saying in the video is that vortex gave him a new scope.

I wonder what happened. To actually break the barrel away from the action... man
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Near the end of the video, he goes from a RH Tikka to a LH bolt rifle.
Not related to the optic, just sayin.

Early on in the video he's lining up to shoot a Tikka with no bolt in it.
:dunno:

Hard to do a reenactment with a rifle that's been blown to pieces.

Over $2,000.00 for a custom rifle, and the "optics" are covered under warranty,  :yike:

The American Soldier and Jesus Christ. One died for your freedom, the other for your soul.
