Going to do an overview of the spuhr tikka mounts, when I originally got the hunter version, I got a lot of questions about it so figured I’d make a thread. Considering the tikka cult going on here I think more people need to see these things.
For those unfamiliar, spuhr is a Swedish company that makes gun stuff, probably the most popular has been their scope mounts. Show up to most any precision rifle match and your bound to see quite a few spuhr mounts on the line. Before I got into shooting matches I didn’t know much or think much of the heavy duty spuhr stuff. But once I began seeing them, and noticed their hunting tikka direct mount line I took notice.
Some time earlier this year I ended up with a direct attach spuhr tikka hunting mount. 30mm tube, 30mm height. In the photo I have an shv f1 in 50mm in it. The thought of eliminating the rail, along with something I can swap back and forth easily on all my tikkas made sense to me. The hunting mount has no built in cant, not a big deal for my 223. It’s simple, clamps right to the action like sports match rings which are so popular. It’s got a recoil lug that goes into the action, and is built out of 7000 series aluminum. I paid $235 from mile high shooting for the hunter mount…. Not a bad price considering the quality and the fact that my rail/ring setup added more screws, and cost more money. Mounting the scope was simple, it comes with a wedge designed to level the bottom of yours scope to the mount once on the action, made it nice and simple.
Id been lusting for the bigger spuhr to put an NX8 in on my tikka match rifle, to be able to switch around with my various hunting rifles. Finally swallowed the price and ordered one. Specs in the picture below. I won’t say the price…. You guys can look it up if you want a shock.
As the hunting mount was, this thing is very high quality, has the same mounting interface, a bubble level, and 7 mils of cant built in. The scope pictures is a 4-32 NX8, that pulls double duty on the pictured rifle along with my 17lb match built tikka. Below is a picture of the mounting interface, the recoil lug can be removed and moved to any desired spot. This mount too uses the wedge for leveling. Mounting went smooth. The angle on the rings leaves turrets easily seen. The level, something I like to have but don’t focus on it much, takes a bit to see, don’t have to move my cheek but have to shift focus to get a good look at it. Headed to the range and in 2 shots had my zero, threw a couple more on and called it good.
I’d recommend this to anyone looking to simplify their mount, or to move scopes around on multiple tikkas. For me it was both, and another plus was getting rid of those tiny tikka rail screws. They are a good option and make a number of different options along with attachments. Must have done something right, below is a couple stacked on my 2nd shot to zero.
Any other questions or picture requests please let me know. Not a lot out there on these specific tikka/trg mounts.
