Bought my daughter a T3x Hunter for a graduation gift. What's the cleanest looking (non tactical) scope mount for this model? Fine with rings and mounts or Tally type ringmounts as long as its solid and looks good. Also, what height to just clear a 40mm scope?

Modified talley lightweights. I use DD's and they are clean looking as well.

Sportsmatch IMO.


It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Thanks for the offer. I have to recover from buying the rifle for now or I'd jump on them.

Talley lows, or extra lows.
Either buy ones above, and I think I saw extra lows on euro optics
Here is t3x SL with low Talleys and 42 mm Nikon M with a cap. Still room to be had.

All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

Would these be similar in height to talley extra lows? Looking to mount the same scope on my tikka. Tried a rail and low rings and it was awkwardly high..

Lows minus 0.10”, which I think is “extra low”. Puts the tube 0.410” off the dovetail
