Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Modified Talley's for Tiikka...

Looking forward to them, I have 3 sets on the way.

Glad to see you take off with this idea. It's a good one. Hope if works out for you.

Now about those RAR modded mags...

Both sets received today in good condition. EXCELLENT packaging. Thank you !

Will these work with an SWFA 3-9x42?

I just mounted a set with a 3-15 x 42 swfa so you should be fine

Back to the M+ mags, is there a minimum number of orders you'd need? Been really hoping to get one of these soon.

Thanks Darrik,

Received my set of 1" rings today. They look great - now I just need a rifle to put them on.



Thanks Darrik!

GK

What level of concern should a potential buyer have when it comes to these cracking, now that some material has been removed from the base?

I seem to recall some Talley's cracking on the base. And that was without removing material.

Thoughts?

A few more of these pop up when you Google "Cracked Talley Lightweights"

I’ve owned and used multiple sets that 16Bore’s dad made. None cracked.

I would follow this rule — 22.5 to 25lbs on the base screws, 18lbs on the ring screws. I’d also recommend following the instructions on the little white sheet of paper we send in the package.

We did over 200 sets without any problems. It's s flat surface to a flat surface. The round receivers and "round" bases leave a little room for variance and farmer tight leads to trouble. Use loktite on the threads or nail polish on the heads, proper torque values and you'll be good to go.

My three sets arrived yesterday, Merry Christmas!

SWFA in modified lows for those wondering.

Are these still available? I got "no product found" when I hit the link. Would definitely like to buy the 1" lows.

Try this:

Thanks, just placed an order.

We sold out of the 1” lows again, but more are on the way. Still have some 30mm lows.

I dont have the rifle yet. Pardon this question, but; could someone tell me if the rifle is already drilled and tapped for these rings?

Yes.

Make sure the short screw goes in the hole closest to the muzzle.

Actually, these are drilled by Talley to fit the tapped holes in the top of the rail which is part of the receiver of the Tikka. The rings/bases are purchased by Whittaker’s and they have an outside source do the milling of the base. The milling allows the base to set lower on the rail with a lip overhanging the rail just a smidge. Makes a very attractive set-up.
