Primary Arms has just announced the pre-order of their new Gold Series scope line. The Gold Series scopes are designed in Texas and made in the Philippines. They are placed as a mid-tier scope just under their Platinum line, but boast some very nice features. The most interesting model for most precision rifle shooters will be the 6-24x50mm.

The Tikka T3x rifles, chambered in .308 or 6.5 Creedmoor are common sights at precision rifle competitions. It made perfect sense for Tikka to release a .22LR version for rimfire matches.
