Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Lowest Mounting for Tikka T3 and Leupold VX1 3-9x40 ?

Tikka T3 Superlite and Leupold VX1 3-9x40
Lowest mounting without scope covers ?

I am thinking Burris XTB bases and Weaver Low rings
XTB Bases .294 according to Burris Rep Phone call

Weaver Lows .089 according to Weaver Ring chart.

Has anyone tried this setup ?

Member 16bore on here sells modified Tally Lightweight's.

Craig,

I had 16 Bore modify a set of low Talleys and I really like them....and they look good too!

Get 16bore's Talleys, they work great and really do look good.

Thanks Guys
The Talleys sure are a good looking mount and Lightweight.

I am more interested in the Weaver type rings and mounts as I like the Versatility of being able to change scopes easier and to remove for travel and then tweak it when I put it back on rifle.

Thanks for the info though

Have Warne medium 1" rings with the vertical split configuration on my T3 Lite. They clamp onto the grooves milled into the receiver like a vise. Clearance at the objective end of my VX III 3.5-10 is perfect, about 1/8". You can also get a QD version I believe. These rings have been very satisfactory, rugged, look good, easy to install. Customer service has been excellent re: my questions on lapping (they say you don't need to) and also providing torque specs. (25 in. lbs.)

Modified lows will put the tube .410 off the receiver, if you're wondering.

Thanks
What about the Extra Lows.how much lower than the lows are they ?

"Mistem" sent some to get milled, pretty damn low. Not exactly sure how low. Maybe shoot him a PM
