I've been using the Digex N450 for a while now and I really like it. I've also got a PARD NV007 on another rifle, but I much prefer the sensitivity of the Pulsar. On a moonlit evening you don't have to use any IR. It's also a real joy having a 'normal' scope set up with eye relief exactly where you want it. Daytime resolution could be better but it's not a target scope.
Both are fantastic rifles. The CTR mag and bottom metal is much better than the standard poly Tikka offering, but there are quite a few bottom metal and replacement mag options available now.
I'd go for the CTR to get the 10 round mag and not have to worry about spending more on a replacement bottom metal and AICS mags.
Just thought I'd share a foxing rifle I've been using recently. It's providing to be a great setup with some well proven kit.

A great read, thanks Jay.
I've noticed a decline in rabbit population around some of the areas I shoot in North Wales. I think some of the farmers have been a bit too keen to eradicate. Other areas are still plentiful however.
