Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles T3X Rings and Bases

Ok, so I folded like a lawn chair and joined the 6.5 Creed cult, ordering a T3X from Darrik at Whittakers (great place). I would like to know you guy's thoughts on the various rings and bases setups please. Please save the tactical setups if you don't mind.

Will use my SS 3-9x42MQ
My simple mind says just get the Warne's and mount directly to rail.
I already have Burris Sig 30mm rings laying around. Love these. How about me getting the Leupy dual dovetails to go with them?
Already have 30mm weaver style Warne's so I could just get some Weaver style bases/Weaver rail?
Talley LW's?

Thanks Amigo's.

I used Wayne's on my T3 lite. Simple, strong and trouble free. I like the direct connection with the receiver.

JG,
I've posted this several other times, but IMHO a good option if you don't use the Talleys is using the 2 piece DNZ base/rings that look like a beefier version of the Lwt Talleys. The DNZ aren't pretty by any means but are super stout and a bit lower than the Talleys which is why I went with them. The come in 2 styles I think one with one top screw per side and one with 2 which I think they do consider their "tactical" but really they look the same only wider rings. They are a little heavier than Talleys but so far I do like them, have been great on my SL 7MM-08.
Good luck with your rifle, I'll be joining the club as soon as they come out with the T3x Superlite 6.5's

iff'n they make DNZ gamereapers for it, that'd be my choice. I use them on several guns

I use DNZ 1 piece pretty much for everything now JG....

Thanks Greg.....when is your big elk hunt????

Just got done yesterday....

Pics using the Dead Nuts two piece? 30mm preferred.... Thanks in advance.

Sorry, no 30MM, these are low 1" with a 3.5-10-40 Leupold, have good clearance even with the Butler Creeks on.

Very nice Oregonmuley.

Thanks. Does look great... Really great rifle!

Is the width of the base wider than the rail like the Talley, such that they could be milled out like the modified Talleys?

DNZ Hunt Masters (pretty sure low) with a Zeiss HD5 2-10x42 mounted on a T3 Superlite. I had a Conquest on there before installing the HD5

Nope, the base is maybe a fraction narrower then the rail.

Thanks a bunch guys.

I’m using the Warnes and putting another SS 3x9 on mine. They fit well and seem pretty clean.

I will be using a Warne pic base and Seekins low rings with a 2.5-10 NXS.

You guys with the dnz mounts, are you lapping the rings?

I didn't, and I usually do lap the Talleys.

I had to lap DNZ 2 piece mounts on a Tikka T3

Do the one pc DNZ mounts for the T3 have the recoil pin in the base?
