I'd also add a first-rate pair of binoculars. I'd rather hunt with $1k binos and a $200 rifle than the other way around.

Thanks for the heads up on this. I really like the idea of an illuminated reticle. This model Leupold VX-5HD 1-5x24mm CDS-ZL2 at $1200 ish looks interesting as well. By the way, I was able to get my hands on the Tikka T3X Lite and it was startlingly light.
