Tikka rings for a 34mm tube - Help a confused hunter

[NadaQQ]

Hi everyone,

First post of hopefully many. Long time bow hunter finally getting into rifle for some backcountry hunts. Just bought a Tikka T3x and need to figure out rings to mount a scope with a 34mm tube. Scope is a bit heavy but it’s a great scope (Vortex Razor HD Gen II 3-16x50) and I honestly don’t want to spend $ to just save 20oz.

From the search that I’ve done I really like the idea of the Sportswatch T084 with the recoil lug and no rail needed. But every thread I saw the person was mounting a 30mm tube. Is there a version of these rings that fit 34mm?

I would like to see some options listed as well.

Get a rail and some seekins rings and be done with it.
Rail is the way to go

Just did this for my Schmidt Bender 4x16-56 Polar. I bought a Mountain Tactical rail. It has the "pin" or recoil pin made into it. Bolts up perfectly. Then I used Vortex precision 34 mm rings, Lows if I remember. Scope has just enough clearing for my scope coat.

If you're looking for a direct mount option our Long Range Hybrids work great on Tikkas. As well as our Ultra Light Tacticals if you decide to get a pic rail.

Have you thought about machining a ring that will fit the tikka dovetail with an arrestor pin like the sportsmatch? I would buy a set in a heart beat.

I’m in the same boat. I’ll probably end up with the spuhr tikka direct mount in 34mm

No plans to accommodate the pin at the moment, but we'll get with the design team and see if that's something we can incorporate.

Great question! I would highly recommend going with a 1-piece Picatinny rail for your rifle. If you were in need of one check out www.egwguns.com. I would then pair that with something like our 34 mm Precision Matched Rings 1.1" inch height.
