Just wanted to give you guys an update. I ended up going with the higher sportsmatch rings so I could scoot the scope back for better eye relief. I bought an extra stock from a forum member and had it dipped.
I just bought a set of the medium and high height rings from this site:

It took about a week to ship from UK to California. Another forum member suggested the site.
Agreed, buying a super lite and putting on a 2lb scope does sound sillly, but according to sig (I should have weighed it mysel) the 4.5-15x44mm weighs 23.2 oz and the 6.5-20x52mm weighs 25.9oz. Since I wanted to try out the bdx system, I think I would have ended up pretty heavy anyway. 2.7oz...
Update. I think I will try using the high mounts so I can move the scope a little further back to get better eye relief and add enough clearance to install the defender scope caps that I ordered last week. Hopefully the my cheek eye height will still work.
Also wondering why I’m receiving...
Thanks for the input. The scope is a sig bdx 6.5-20x52. The height is perfect for my eye position which is why I am hesitant to use the high mounts I already bought. I guess I’ll move it forward if it touches after firing at the range. Hunting season here starts on Saturday so I am hoping to...
Hey all. I got my tikka t3x SL in 6.5 today and started putting it together. It weighed in at 6.2 lbs with an empty mag. I bought both the sportmatch mounts in both high and regular just to make sure I would have one that worked. I ended up using the regular, but there is almost no space...
I received my promaster spch20 from cameraland (thanks joel) and I believe it’s leaps and bounds better than my befree. My vortex 65m spotter would just topple over if it had any tilt because the befree does NOT have any friction knobs. The promaster has what feels like a spring loaded tension...
Thanks for posting this, I was thinking I need to order the higher mount. I have was planning on using a 6-20x50 Leupold. I hope the t084 works, but it going to be awhile before I can try it. I purchased the mounts, but have not purchased the rifle yet.
I just ordered the sportsmatch t084 today just so I could use the built in rail and recoil hole. I’m planning on buying the t3x superlite camo from cabelas. Currently in the process of sourcing some gift cards.
I already ordered the sportsmatch rings from the tawnado. I don’t even have the tikka t3x yet. I really wanted these mounts just so I could use the built in dovetail. I’m one of those people who make fun on people who put floor mats on top of floor mats so I personably can’t have a base on...
