Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Scope mounts for Tikka T3X ?

My T3x sits in a McMillan Edge stock and I recently switched from Talleys to a rail and Seekins rings. I also switched from a 1” to 30mm scope.

Both setups have been good but I like the robust and flexible adjustment the Seekins setup offers.

They are the ones everyone is talking about

Will these also work on the Sako 85?

I think a lot of it depends on what you intend to do with said rifle, and how you set it up. If you are solely wanting a lightweight hunting rifle, go with the simplicity of something light that mounts to the rail, or a modified Talley lightweight. I run Leupold Dual Dovetails or steel Warne bases with Burris Zee rings, because that is what I run on my model 70's. A rail works great if you are running a real heavy big scope on a tacticool or bench rifle, or you need the flexibility of mounting for a real short tube scope, or you want cant in your sighting system (20 MOA for example). That is for reaching way TF out there though. How many guys really do that?? If I went through the trouble and expense of putting a Mcmillan edge on a Tikka T3, I would not run a rail, but keep the top half light as well. There's a fine line between balance and useability. I hate a top heavy rifle when I'm packing it around in the woods. I've sold rifles right after a hunt because they did not carry well. To each their own on that subject though.

There have been so many threads on this subject, some with great pictures and suggestions. I'd urge the OP to do a search for some of those threads. They can be quite informative. I also believe that sportsmatch only made 30mm rings at one time, or the 1" was very hard to find. Part of the reason I use what I use. If I were starting all over again, I'd just buy Sportsmatch rings for my lightweight hunting rifles and be done with it. I run 1" scope tubes on most of them. I like to keep them low and light. Good luck to the OP. I hope he finds what he is looking for.

No. Sako’s have tapered dovetail rails.

Others have recommended the Sports Match rings. I have a set on my Tikka T3X and like them a lot. If you’re not going to be swapping scopes around a lot and just want a good mount/ring set up to mount and forget I can only tell you I’d get them again if I had another T3X to scope. I’ve had zero issues with them.

I've had two different mounts on mine, currently running a DNZ tactical which I like because it was 1-piece mount.

This. Why put a rail on a rail? There are plenty of good options that utilize the receiver pin recoil hole(s) that are strong as [bleep] and lower than any rail setup.

Inclination for (1). ring spacing for (2). Hint.

I get it,that NONE of you Crying Kchunts actually shoot and there's NOTHING fhuqking funnier than that! Hint.



Bless your poor poor(literally) hearts,for TRYING though.

Hint.

Fhuqking LAUGHING!..............

Yeah but then you wouldn't be able to run a 20 MOA rail and a scope with crappy eye relief and tube length, use 2x heavy for caliber bullets, and be a virtual long range shooter.

KenBitchAgain,

Fortunately for your CLUELESSNESS and the fact that you are a LYING Piece Of Fhuqking Schit,Imagination and Pretend are free,so even YOU can "afford" to "contribute"...you "lucky" kchunt. Hint. Congratulations?!?



I prefer an inlined 1913 extended rail,because everything below zero,is 100% useless. Google as you MUST and nod your pencil neck,like you "understand". Hint.






Be SURE to start a Thread,should your kchunt ever leave the couch and you score your first $20. Hint.

Fhuqking LAUGHING!...............

Engraving "[bleep] Tikkas" on a Tikka says a lot about the owner...

*** You are ignoring this user *** hahaha.


same shtick, same Johnny one note, different day.


Must be a hell of a life to constantly think about and keep files for us all, and race to the clickety clack to feverously get a reply in with ad nauseum cut and paste. Imagine how productive life could be if half the time and effort involved was spent getting a hell of a lot more done than said.

Easier to bait and hook than a half dead chromium in trickle creek.

You Crying Karen Cat Ladies are a "rugged" bunch...you "lucky" kchunts. Hint. Congratulations?!?



Fhuqking LAUGHING!..................

Good job to whoever this youngun is

Another stinky pi$$ sprayer put out
of order that won't have to be dealt
with again

Just a picture from the 'Net. Hint.



Fhuqking LAUGHING!..............

Talley's in extra low for 1" 40mm objective work fine and won't move.

Until they do

Another vote for the sports match. They're a good quality ring.

I've been very happy the Leupold backcountry setup on 2 of my Tikka's
