About to Buy a Tikka, a Question About Rings and Scopes...

[KMD]

I Have Talley light weights on my Tikka t3 lite 338 win mag

When I had my T3--I used Burris 2-piece Tactical steel bases and Leupold QRW rings-------easy to mount and slick to use.

Had Warne's--while well made---the rings with screws going through sideways absolutely suck---be it Warnes or classic Talley's(ya I've had those too---never again).

The Talley lightweights work ok---but I don't like alumium much and I don't like that they don't quick detach.

I like the Tikka rings.  They use a steel dowel in one of the rings to prevent fore & aft movement under recoil.   Rock solid dependable in my .338 mag & .270 Win. t-3s.

I didn't have any problems with the factory scope rings on either one of my Tikkas. I did buy a DedNuts for the .223 Varmint & like it pretty good. My .308 Varmint wears a 20 MOA one piece mount & rings from EGW. I put the same set-up on the .223 because I've been shooting 600 yds with it.

FYI, I just bought a T3 superlite. I was able to put a 2.5x10x50 nikon monarch on it using the medium DNZ mounts with about 3/16" to spare. It also would have worked with the factory rings, but would have only had between an 1/8"-1/16" clearance.

I have several tikka rifles and use Warne rings on all of them.  QD rings allow for quick scope changes if I need additional magnification when doing load development or when going out for some long range work.
