If threaded, that is the first I have heard of it.

Thanks, chaz I have a local gunsmith that's 99% sure he's going to do these for the shop. Any issues with us doing it?? And FYI -- we're being told mid to late October on the 6.5's.
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

Live long and prosper my brother. If he runs into any issues and would like to talk shop, with Pop, I'll arrange it. I can spell "mill", that's about it. If it turns into a multimillion dollar operation, you can send me a Tikka for Christmas.

Darrik,
Assume you mean the Talley mod? If it's the threading, count me in....

No threading, just the mods - sorry.

So you have the go ahead (Thanks 16 Bore) on the modified rings.... will they be ready to ship when the Tikkas are? I haven't bought a new rifle in a few years now... I'm way past due breaking in a new rig 
Please don't feed the trolls!

I want some for the Creed if this works. I have a set of 16Bore Talleys on my T3x 7mm with a Tract Toric 2-10 x 42 and they are perfect. Everything is really close but with sufficient clearance.

Just got back from Newfoundland and used my Tikka T3 stainless .300 Win Mag. Was searching the sites for info on a Tikka my 14 year old son could handle in Africa. I've been to Whittakers a few times in the past. Thanks for the early order opportunity. Took a stainless model. Thinking a Leupold vx 5 3-15 44mm firedot. What rings will get me closest to the barrel? Also what factory cartridges do you suggest for general plains game up to eastern kudu? Again thank you for the opportunity.

Darrik, please count me in for a set of rings if your guy modifies them. I just pre-ordered the last stainless 6.5. Thanks!

Sure is tempting......love them Tikkas.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

OK, so I click on the link to the blued version, fill in my email info, go to email and click "add to cart", get redirected back to Whittaker's site but nothing is in the cart, with no option on that page to add it to cart. It just goes back to the original link where you have to send them your email.
What am I doing wrong?
thanks.

We should be getting close to these showing up.
It's like waiting for Christmas morning to arrive.
