Like this close? Minus recoil lug maybe? ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/y8dw2MXw/IMG-0105.jpg)

i prefer a rail on my tikkas personally due to the flexibility of the slots. since you have burris sig zee rings,my preference also, why not give the warne 1 piece weaver rail a shot? i have this setup on all my tikkas and have never had an issue.

Big Ed Thats what i origionally wanted to do for flexibility. Because I have 40mm to 56mm optics and 1" and 30mm tubes. You have a link to that rail. The little bit of weight that it adds is nothing. Im not a backpacker, mountain hunter.

google warne weaver rail for tikka t3. m9t3m is warne's designation for the one i use. it has 3 slots up front and 2 in the rear o the 1 piece base. and as a bonus it comes either in black or silver if that matters to you. the burris sig zee rings fit like a glove on this rail.

I do have the factory aluminum rings. Man they just looked awfully "fragile" or cheap made. But I guess I'm wrong, hell some of you guys are running them. I haven't tried them to see if my 50mm will clear. Whatever I decided to go with it, I'll need them for a 50mm. The sportsmatch do look very good. They are pretty average, Sportsmatch are the best option ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/58374.jpg) Castle, is this your setup? This is the 1st set of sportmatch rings that I have seen where the front lug is not so close to the chamber opening. The front ring is moved forward slightly to give it more of a "symmetrical" look. I really like look. How did you pull that off? These rings have a recoil pin that works with the slot in the front of the receiver but I don’t use that one. The T3X has a 3mm hole in the bridge for a recoil pin and I use that one now to give the same spacing.

This it? Okay ! now that's not what I think of when I think of 'rail'. I'd have NO objection to that. That reminds me of the Weaver Ring BASE for Rem semi autos and pumps. Jerry

Yeah it's a little cleaner look that a full slotted rail.

Cool, missed that memo. Thanks for posting again.

I doubt anyone has seen more true wanton abuse put on Tikka T3’s than I. The Sportsmatch are unmatched in strength and maintaining zero. If one needs inclination Mountain Tactical’s rail with recoil lug is the choice. The milled Tikka rail mount is a little petite for my liking. In what way have you seen it fail?

Form, overall how are the Tikkas holding up to the abuse?
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Fantastic. Broken bolt stop has been the only issue on multiples with more than 10K rounds on them. Around 1 in 3 to 1 in 4 will have a slight POI shift from side impacts (3ft drops), that a bit of bedding compound or JB on the tang and the recoil lug will correct. It is slight though- .2 mil +/-. They fare ice/snow and blowing sand better than almost anything save an AI or TRG... which makes sense as that’s what a T3 really is- a sporterized Sako TRG 22. As a total package, there really isn’t anything to compete.

The Mountain Tac rails are nice and the recoil pin is an excellent feature. The Area419 20 MOA rail also uses a recoil pin and is very well made.
I've seen more well-shot game lost with TSXs than any other premium bullet.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA
