Scope Mount Help

I just got my Sako and Tikka rifles and went out this past Saturday looking for scope mounts. I ended up putting Leupold rings on my Sako 75 Hunter with a Zeiss Conquest 3-10.5*44mm scope. Was that a mistake or should I have waited to find Sako rings?

I have a Leupold VARX-III 3-105.*40mm scope for my Tikka Whitetail (30-06). Do you'll recommend Leupold rings or Tikka rings? Where can I find Tikka rings? The Tikka reciever has the dovetail rail but is also tapped for a base. Is a base necessary or can I just use the rings attached to the rail?

Thanks.

I wouldn't use anything but Leupold or Burris rings and bases.

RE: Scope Mount Help

Leopold and Redfield bases are one and the same. They are the best bases, strong and simple. Milett makes good bases and rings as well however I don't care for the windage adjustmentson the bases, too much room for error and they can shake loose.
