Perfect height for SWFA 3-9 SS HD, and an LRHSi 4.5-14. I do have an SHV with illuminated MOAR on the way.

I had the rail already from another Tikka and didn't know about sportsmatch rings at the time. On my next Tikka I will probably try them out but this is pretty darn solid also.

That looks really good, A guy at the range was shooting one of those in 6.5 and believe it or not it was shooting very tiny groups

I just started using the Burris signature rings so far I have no issues but the one bottom screw to tighten the rings to the base looks to be the weakest link.... HMM-161, HMM-364 Semper Fi Brothers
