Tikka T3x question

[forced-2-work]

Ok Green screen, maybe I am reading WAY too much into it, but I just got a tikka T3x in 7mm-08 and am looking for some scope rings I can mount directly to the rail that comes factory with the rifle. A buddy is sending me an extra pair of leupold rifleman scope rings he had, but I am concerned if they will fit without me having to put a picatinny rail on the gun. Anyone know 1, if the scope rings my buddy is sending me will fit or 2, anyone have suggestions on good rings that will fit directly to the factory mounting rail?

I want to say Talley lightweights have a direct mount and that the direction I'd go.

That said, I have a mountain tactical pic rail on mine and love it.

I am trying to avoid taking the dang little screws out that are on the top rail of the gun cause I don't have a ang tiny ***** screw driver to get them out. (but I mean I will if I have to I guess)

Tikka T3x question

If you want direct mount, get some Hawkins Long Range Hybrids. Otherwise, put a pic rail and quality rings on. Scope mounts aren’t the thing to be cheap or lazy on.

Agree with this. I certainly wouldn't let the fact that you don't have a small screwdriver dictate the type of mount/rings you use. Buy a screwdriver and get the mounts you want.

Better yet, buy a wheeler torque set.

x2. I bought rings that fit the Tikka's factory rail dimensions.

If you do have to remove the screws, use a heat gun or a hair dryer to heat them up 1st.
If you decide to put a rail mount , get a mountain tactical, because it has the recoil stem on it.

There are Sako Optiloc rings for Tikka. They are good rings. Have them on both of my Tikka's.

That's what i have on my two tikka t3 rifles.

Take the screws out. I used DNZ mount on mine.

And no screw removal required.

not trying to go cheap or lazy. wanting less moving parts if that makes sense. Ill take a look at some of the direct mount scope rings. The scope mounts my buddy is sending me didn't cost me a $, and I was just wondering if they would fit. But I don't believe they will. I have seen that Warne makes some direct fit scope rings for the Tikka. I will have to check out the other direct fits suggested in the post.

I have three Tikka rifles. One of them, my rings fit directly to the dovetail slots. These are made by Warne, a great company that puts out a quality product. You won't have to remove anything and they're great. I have a CTR in .308 that has a pic rail that comes on the rifle, a T3 Roughtek in 7mm REm Mag that I wanted to use a rail on, and the T3 that I went direct to the action with using the Warne rings. I really like the low profile I get going directly to the action, it's a very solid set up.

Further to my post, I really like Tikka rifles and start about 8 years ago have gone to them almost exclusively. On my set up that I went direct to the rail with using Warne Rings, I also put it in a Bell and Carlson Medalist Stock, sanded the barrel channel for full float all the way to the recoil lug and trashed the bottom plastic and bought bottom metal from High Dester Rifle works. So, this $599.00 rifle is now a $1,000.00 rifle that shoots like a million bucks, 1/2" or less all day long, shoots as good as my CTR. So good, I don't hesitate to thread the needle for a heart shot on the biggest hog kill of my life just a few days ago.
