That doesn't look like the same rail as the ones that come on CTR's. The CTR rail is tapered on both ends and doesn't extend past the receiver. Here's mine ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/0qwQVtz.png) Yes, that appears to be a much more svelte rail. Aluminum or steel?

The CTR rails are very low ain't they? Yes. That's what I'd suggest and what I use for a low mount solution. You can find them used pretty cheap if you ask around. I've looked everywhere for the CTR rails and I have a WTB ad on the Classifieds. Do you know where I can find one?

That's the ticket! Somebody needs to fire up the ol'CNC and make them. Or Tikka could do integral slots and all would be solved.

I have a Tikka CTR 24" SS that came with the picatinny rail. I have a Leupold LRP VX-3i 6.5-20x50 coming from Optics Planet. Yesterday I started doing some measuring to see what height scope rings I would need. The rail that came on the CTR is very thin, so I decided to take it off and install the Mountain Tactical 20 MOA rail that I have. Removed the 5 screws expecting the rail to come off, nope, nada. Tikka must have bedded the rail to the receiver. Cleaned up the 5 screws, applied purple Loctite and torqued to 25 inch pounds. I took off my Leupold Mark 4 50mm scope with Mark 4 medium rings from another gun and tried it on the CTR, I could not fit a business card between the objective and the barrel. I wanted to use Leupold Mark 4 medium rings on the new scope, but that is to close.
