Tikka scope mounting options?

[Bcleck90]

@deadwolf something to consider if you’re looking at pic rails, but maybe your Tikka has different tolerances than the 3 I’ve messed with.

Tikka T3X and Mountain Tactical rail. Is this normal?

This is my first Tikka and first Mountain Tactical rail so I don’t have much experience with this setup. Is this normal? All of the screws appeared to be the same length before install. The front screw is noticeably sticking out from the bottom when everything is tightened down. I torqued them...

That is a hell of a big scope for a hunting rifle, tried it but didn’t like it either way

GA Precision, Bushnell, and a whole lot of people that covet that scope would disagree with you on that I think. Hence the reason they worked together to bring about version two of the LRHS.

Appreciate the info, we ordered an area419 rail which shouldn’t have any issues.

You won’t regret it.

I guess you have reading comprehension issues
I never said that it wasn’t a great scope

Most people would thank me for showing exactly what that scope looks like on that rifle with a couple of the best mounting options

Didn’t intend to appear as though I was discounting your comments, thanks for the help.

Where are you guys getting those sports match rings?

I didn't have great luck with AOA. Been using these guys for a few years, and nothing but great luck. Just got another set from them a couple days ago.

Thanks for the pics.

I have a couple of the 4.5-18's LRHS/LRTS and a few of the 3-12's. I really like the dimensions of the 3-12's, and for field shots at big game, I don't need anything over 12x. Disappointed that they discontinued the 3-12's, but glad the 4.5-18 still available.

My thoughts exactly

Does anyone use this option?

I have them on my Tikka T3 now, for a 1" scope. I'm switching to a 30mm scope this summer once I get my Game Scout stock from McMillan. I'm looking at Tikka Optilocks or the Sportsmatch rings.

JohnyRingo - I use those on 3 different tikka t3 lites. My primary one has been in use since about 2005, flown, been in scabbards horseback, strapped to backpacks etc. None of the four have ever had an issue and I’ve never had to adjust zero once mounted. Granted these are all 1” versions but I have grown to trust them and they would be my choice if I put a 30mm on.

You probably know this already, but the mating recoil pin on the rings requires that it be mounted in a certain spot on the rail. Depending on the scope, it could potentially limit getting the scope mounted for optimal eye relief.
