Sportsmatch T084 tikka recoil pin

[Jlop_2]

Mounting a scope in some of the sportsmatch rings everyone has raved about on here.

I noticed with the recoil pin in, the front ring seems to sit really far back even if I apply pressure down a forward when snugging down. Is this normal or is the ring too far back?
The ring still sits flush and will tighten. Hopefully the pictures help make more sense of what I’m asking.

Any advice is appreciated. First time using a set of these.

That’s just how they are.

Same, they are still best for the money and it’s not close

Thanks for the replies guys and making me feel better about it.

I had cycled a round through it a couple times and it ejected fine etc. I just wanted the reassurance since it seemed to sit pretty far back.

I’ll degrease everything and start mounting.

Was able to get it all mounted up tonight.

Looks great. Don’t be afraid to bring that rear ring right back as well to increase ring spacing and lessen the likelihood of any movement of the scope.

Out of curiosity what caliber is that with the trijicon? I’m shooting a 6.5 saum with sightron stac and my case hits the windage knob on extraction and won’t extract without tilting the rifle. I’m looking for a different scope vs going to a rail. Thanks in advance.

This is a 7mm rem mag.
