I have a Tikka T3 Lite in 30-06. Trash those factory mounts and get Talley's

I topped mine off with a 2x7 Nikon Monarch. Total weight is 6.4 lbs. Sweet handling and accurate as all get out. Trigger is great. Get that '06 and you can hunt anything you want. Tons of ammo offerings. Remington has 21 loads available everything from 125's to 220's.
I'm not knocking that 7mm-08 though. Plenty of offerings, but stay away from the dreaded short mags......
What don't you like about the factory mounts? I have heard the newer T3's come with the Sako OptiLock mounts, which are reportedly very good. I replaced mine on my 25-06, T3 with Warnevertical rings like the Talley's you have linked.
Mine came with the alumininum ones. soft screws and I hate the way they hang off the dovetail. Opti's are nice, but the look same way. I considered the warnes, but the weighed as much as my scope. I wanted to have something that was strong and compact.
Dang, its 4:41.....I got to get in the woods.
