I've had good luck with the Leupold Backcountry for my wife's Tikka and my M70. Both are low height with 40mm scopes. Hers a Crossfire 3-9 and mine a VX-3i 3.5-10. That Razor 2.5-10 should serve him well.

Just picked up a Nightforce rail & Vortex tactical rings for my T3. Should be plenty for a .223 Rem. lol

i personally like the warne 1 piece weaver base with burris signature zee rings on my teekers so i can spread my rings out as far as possible fore and aft.

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

I got the Sportsmatch TO84's I ordered for my granddaughter's Tikka 6.5 Creed. I haven't installed them yet. But they look nice and should make it easier for her to get behind the scope without the MT rail.

Are the Sportsmatch aluminum or steel?
I’ve got the itch for a T3 Superlight 6.5 CM and am doing my due diligence.

I just mounted a Pulsar Thermion 2 XP50 thermal to a Tikka T3x Lite 6.5 CM using a Mountain Tactical picatinny rail and some Vortex Precision 30mm medium rings. The Vortex Precision rings were crazy expensive ($150), but I had a Cabela's gift card someone gave me and they happened to be the only lightweight ring set in stock at the store. The Vortex precision rings are probably the stoutest lightweight aluminum rings I've ever seen. They have really large T25 screws on both the rings and the mounting screws that have the most thread engagement I've ever seen. Considering the Thermion weighs in the neighborhood of 32 ounces, I think overkill in strength is in order, even on a light recoiling 6.5CM.

I got a 0 moa rail from Mountain Tactical.
