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 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.
