Talley LW milled to fit the Tikka. Contact Whittaker Guns.com.

I like to mount straight to the Tikka dovetail, so I've been using the Warne's. Great stuff and fewer parts.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Talleys or the DNZ rings/mounts that look like a beefed up version of Talleys, have them on both my Superlites and really like the overall height/weight of them.

Not directly for Tikka, but I used Talley's on one Savage an DNZ on others. Based on what I saw and experienced, I'd choose DNZ 1 piece over Talley's every time. They feel more solid and from my experience were machined better. They left ZERO ring marks. Can't say the same for the Talley's. I realize other factor go in to that, but I also love how much thread engagement you get with the DNZ screws as well.

They are a little pricey since they come from EU but are perfect for the Tikka. Reasonable light, strong, and mount directly to the rail. Someone should set up a deal for easy distribution here in the US. They'd sell a ton once people got on to them.

Are the ones that attach to the dove tail more or less secure?

Talley’s for me. I bought Talley’s and Warne’s at the same time. I preferred the way the Talley’s attached.

The SportsMatch rings that I put on a 6.5 Creedmoor have done well. For a hunting rig, I like them.

I just looked at the Sportsmatch rings and gave thanks that I purchased optilock rings. 147 dollars ? GTFO . I know those mean optilock rings and bases may weigh 3 ounces or so more then anything else.

They don't look half bad but they are limited in their offerings
