Have said it before but it beats repeating- unless you need the inclination and/or ability to swap scopes that pic rings offer, you are missing some of the advantage of the integral rail on the Tikka. Have used every combination mentioned. Most extensively. Sportsmatch are extremely reliable in holding POI, postition the scope low, allow decent ring spacing, and are relatively inexpensive.
For hunting, Sportsmatch T084.
Awesome. I like the looks of those.
