Tikka Rings

[FrozenOkie]

Anyone have experience (good or bad) with the scope rings supplied on the Tikka T3 Lite S/S? I just bought this in a .270 and want to attach a 2-7x33 Leupold VX-II to it. I would like the scope to be mounted as low as possible and not have to worry about it coming loose. If need be I could order the optilocks, but they are pretty spendy. If the supplied rings are good, I'd just as soon use them.

Noone is jumping on this....

I doubt that Tikka supplies different rings for their models, but check with your dealer to be sure. I just put 20 bench rounds through a T3 in 308 winchester, 168 grain, and neither scope or mount budged. Real tight groups, too. I won't brag it up unless I can duplicate it on another box of bullets, tho.

You can buy Leupold rings if you really want to lower that scope much more..I believe the Tikka comes with medium rings from the factory
