Tikka T3 ultra light factory scope rings
« on: August 20, 2008, 06:06:35 PM »
I was wondering if these rings were any good.  They look sturdy enough, but I'm a little skeptical.  If the gun was a smaller caliber I wouldn't worry, but since it's a 25-06 I'm worried about recoil on them with no base mounts.

Personaly I would step up into Talleys or Warnes, even on a 25-06. Only $40 for peace of mind that they will last.

Tikka rings are a cheap product IMO

Ditto with Peterbilt. The factory rings are junk. Tried using mine, but finally discarded them and got Warnes.

I have a T3 Lite in 30.06.  I couldn't keep the factory rings from slipping and now have nice skid marks on my Fullfield II.  I bought Talley lightweights and have great confidence in them. 

Get rid of the factory mounts.
