Hey guys I'm working on a some glass and mounts for the new rifle. I'm pretty sure what scope I'm getting but what mounts do you guys prefer for this Tikka? I'm a Talley guy but I'm always looking for a better fit! Bev: I just stuck Talley Lightweights on mine,,,first time on a Tikka, but Ive had nothing but god luck with them on other rifles... That sounds good to me Tom, thanks

I use and recommend Warne QD rings for the Tikka receiver. It comes with the recoil pin that fits in the receiver top. 1" or 30mm. I've never used Warne before but I've read some positive things about there products. Thanks

I have a pair of T3's with DNR game reaper one piece mounts and they have been rock solid. I'm planning to put a 20MOA rail on this one and have not settled on rings yet.

Well I bought some glass today for my hopefully soon to arrive Tikka. I thought I'd try one of the new GPO's that Doug from cameraland has been writing about for a few months. I'm going to try a 4x12x40 with a plex reticle. It should be all I need for shooting out a couple hundred yards or so.Has anyone else tried one of these scopes yet?

I'll be very interested to hear a report on your scope.
There are 2 rules to success:

Thanks

Eager for this to arrive. First 22-250 in the fold. Like the thinking of 62gr tsx as was mentioned. Or go vanilla 65gr SGK, or long-bodied 75gr scirrocos/others.... Sweet dilemma.
Pending rifle shuffling, going conquest 3-9 #4 in talley lows (16bore flavor), or go full-pimp with victory 2-10x42 #4 in warnes as think the inner wire subtensions are a little finer, and scope been laying around needing work.
Golldammed motion detector lights. A guy can’t even piss off his porch in peace any more.

Nope. All pre-orders done by June 1st get the free case and magazine. Go back to the first post on this thread and you'll find the links. I tried quoting the first post again, but something went haywire!!
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

Guys, I decided to start a new thread to make things simple....

The rifles will be available in right or left hand. Delivery time is expected in 4 months. As promised, we're providing a Tikka case and a spare mag to everyone that pre-orders the rifle. All pre-orders must be placed on layaway before June 1st, 2017. Originally, I'd suggested we would provide a promo code for pre-orders to receive the mag and case. We found a way to track it without the promo code -- so none needed. 24hourcampfire members have a jump on this exclusive. I've not promoted it anywhere else. To preorder the rifles, simply click on one of the links below and place the rifle on layaway. As I stated earlier, I won't be keeping email or PM lists to purchase the rifles. That's for your benefit! The pre-order requires a 15% non-refundable deposit. Layaway requires an account set up, but its super simple. We'll need that information anyway once the rifle is ready to ship. This layaway won't expire in 90 days. The rifles won't be here for 120 days, so we're giving you extra time to pay. No monthly emails or reminders, you just log into your account and pay a little here and there. It's as simple as that. Here is the link for the right hand rifle: https://shop.whittakerguns.com/product/38416Here is the link for the left hand rifle: https://shop.whittakerguns.com/product/38417You'll have to use the email for price method we utilize for the gun.

It worked this time...

Placed an order for one of these last night. Going to mount a SS 10X42, and play around with 75 grain ELD X bullets. May turn into my coyote gun, but for now, we will go ring the steel with it.
I could see this with 62 grain TTSX as a great deer/antelope rifle for a young shooter or recoil sensitive shooter.
