Have used every combination mentioned. Most extensively. Sportsmatch are extremely reliable in holding POI, postition the scope low, allow decent ring spacing, and are relatively inexpensive. For hunting, Sportsmatch T084.

X a lot. I don’t know how many Tikkas we have (a dozen, maybe a couple more) and they all wear milled Talleys. P Obey lawful commands. Video interactions. Hold bad cops accountable.

One side note, they are not tall enough to clear a 50mm scope, so get the taller ones if that is your plan. Another new option is the Leupold Backcountry mounts. I have a set on the way from Brownell's and plan to give them a try. https://www.leupold.com/scope-mounts/backcountry-tikka-t-3-t3x-hunter-2-pc-30mm-med-matte The first great thing is to find yourself and for that you need solitude and contemplation.
