Need Advice for Scope Mounts for Tikka T3X

shoot both at twilight. the difference will be night and day.

I just use a fixed 4x or 6x at ranges under that. They are light and have less guts to break.

That is a nice looking rifle with a gorgeous stock. I wish modern rifles were made with such artistic stocks.

That's a current production M70. I just really lucked out.

Looks gorgeous. I did not know one could still buy a new rifle with such good looking stock.

Does the factory installed rail on a Tikka T3X come off or does the Talley one pc mont to that flat top rail?

Go with a rail. It gives you more adjustability. Some scopes are longer then others. Sometimes you need to move them farther forward to get the correct eye box. I'm also running the tikka t3x 300 win mag. Do your self a favor and also get the spring kit from mountain tactical.com. You will love the trigger after you do the spring kit

you made a good choice with tikka. I sold my $2700 legendary arms works professional and bought a $800 tikka. I don't think I'll ever shoot anything other then a tikka

Very old thread, but adding this in case someone comes to it later.

The Sportsmatch T084 rings made in the UK are a rock solid solution for mounting a scope on the Tikka dovetail action. They are popular on the Rokslide forum and can be ordered from Airguns of Arizona. These rings mount directly on the 17mm dovetail that's machined in to the Tikka receiver.

Additionally, they sell Picatinny version and 11mm versions that work on the smaller (narrower) Tikka T1x rimfire action.

Unknown munitions make some that clamp directly onto tikkas, thats what i just ordered

I run Talley lightweights on all of my tikkas. But, not sure how they would handle 300 win. Mag recoil. I can tell you they work well on .17hmr, .223, 6.5 cm.

I run Dnz game reapers on my 338 wm and they have not shifted just torque to the recommended specs which are in the package and don't look back !

The Unknown Munitions rings seem fantastic and an answer to problem of getting Sportsmatch rings stateside. Now I wish they'd make a complementary set for 11mm dovetails on the T1x rifles!

Mountain Tactical 20moa pic rail with recoil lug. Nothing better out there.
