After mounting my scope, I think I might benefit from a cheek riser. Any suggestions on maybe, what some of you are using? Thanks!

Mount your scope nice and low and you don't need a cheek riser. What did you put on that superlite? It's a lightweight rifle, keep the scope trim and light as well. You don't need a hubble on it. Post a pic of what you did.

I probably should have ordered the 0 moa instead of the 20 moa Mountain Tactical rail. But, I guess I can make do with it like it is for next month's rifle season.

I have a Victor Titan on my T1x. They’re pretty trim and lightweight. Cheapest place I found them was Pete’s Pillars when I bought mine.

I’ve got one I bought from a member here, and haven’t used. Can’t recall the make, but it does require some drilling, though it’s adjustable and light.

Buy some yoga blocks from Amazon and one of the neoprene buttstock shell holders. The block cuts easily with a hand saw or razor blade and shapes with a file, sandpaper or flap wheel sander for a dremel. That same flap wheel will make a nice tunnel for it to sit on top of the stock. Make as thick or thin as you need. You can get at least 5 from each yoga block.

I have installed Beartooth Comb Riser kits on several rifles with very satisfactory results.

I have really grown to like the Triad Tactical stock packs.

No experience with these although the concept seems pretty cool. I'm not a fan of any cheek riser that is too wide and pushes my face away from the gun.

The Triad Trouble is that they are a fhuqking sponge. Hint.

I'll greedily take a mounting system,which by default,negates the needs of added comb height. Hint..................

Get the cheek riser off a CTR stock, or the same from Eurooptic

And, use only Sportsmatch medium or low rings.

Done and done.

Riser looks interesting, I just went ahead and used a set of medium Burris signature Zee rings I already had. Thanks!

I have a God-a-Grip Shotgun wedge on a couple rifles. With tall cheek bones, I need a good bit of lift, even with a 36mm scope $2-$3 off the barrel. I move pad back and forth with green painters tape to get the proper fit and lift. Then trim it before final application. The 3M double sided adhesive they use STICKS...

Specifically for a Tikka, first thing I would do is shake the bushes to see if someone might cough up a set of 16 Bore's modified Super Low Talley ring mounts. Long shot. But, CAN NOT get any lower on a Tikka than the Talley ring mounts that 16 Bore's dad custom milled...

Don't let others tell you what height rings to get without having them watch you mount the rifle. One guy, with a proper cheek weld, may need lows to have the optimal "use as low as you can use". Whereas the next guy may need high rings, using his proper cheek weld, to have the optimal "use as low as you can use".

However, based on what you stated, you would probably benefit from rings that are lower than those you are using currently. I believe you said you are using medium. If the cheek riser doesn't work for you, "lower" rings probably will. Try low and ultra low. I would, personally, prefer to go to lower rings than to use a cheek riser/pad.

Right now, the bolt misses the ocular eye piece by about 3/8" when pulled fully to the rear. Clearance from front of rail is probably about the same. The scope is a Nikon Monarch 3 4x16x42. If I could get some shorter rings to fit the rail without spending an arm and a leg, I might go that route. Thanks!

If you "need" a cheek riser try a God-a Grip. (Google). They are stick' ons that really do the job and are removable, and don't harm the stock finish.

I found some Vortex Hunter model low rings that dropped the rings to about as low as they can go. It seems much better now should be fine. I sure appreciate all of the help from you fine folks!

I've made one before using foam pipe insulation vet wrapped with a piece of mole skin on top.

I thought I had the problem solved with the new rings but was wrong. After researching the Vortex Hunter rings, I found numerous post about how they weren't for high recoiling rifles. I realize 6.5 Creedmoor don't have a lot of recoil. This Tikka t3x lite does have a little more recoil than my Savage had. Then I read where 3 or 4 people had problems with the rings shooting 308s. I took the rings back and put my Burris Signature Zee rings back on. I'm going to possibly, construct a DIY riser just to get me through Deer season next month. I don't think I need much if any rise it's debatable. I'm going to try shooting it without a riser first and see how my accuracy is.

Sportsmatch T084 rings, Tikka cheek piece.

Don’t make this harder than it is

If you have a 1” scope, get the Sportsmatch T085 rings

1” Sportsmatch rings are TO48C


30mm Sportsmatch are T084

All I found during a search were for Tikka 15mm rail. I've already installed a Mountain Tactical rail which was $85.00 so, I for sure don't want to remove that now. If I'm wrong and they will fit my Picatinny rail I might consider them. Thanks!

They won’t fit a pic rail, they fit the Tikka 15mm rail. They do sit quite low though. I have a set of each.


Sportsmatch TO54C appears to fit a pic rail for 1” tube.


Sportsmatch T078 30mm pic rail.

Ok, that's what I was thinking I think I will be alright with the Burris Signature Zees I plan to shoot soon so I should know then. I've only got till Nov. 10th to get a load worked up and scoped in and I'm moving slowly any more lol!

The rail bolted to the tikka makes a decent cheek weld problematic.

Unless you’re shooting way past 600 yards, the sportsmatch is the easy button.

I have lots of Tikkas and only one with a rail now.

If I had known about the Sportsmatch rings I might have gotten a set instead of the rail. I did a search for the Sportsmatch rings out of curiosity and, they don't seem to have any in the US. If anyone knows where to purchase them in US, I will look into them for later on purchase possibly.

Easy button for damn near indestructible rings. Also, if you have an older version T3, ask for a set of the threaded pins when you order.

I like the stock packs too but finding left handed ones are sometimes difficult.

Never had trouble getting lefty stock packs from Triad.

I better check them out then. Thanks.
