Bases /Rings
Hello ,
first post here as i have always just lerked here but i will share with what i know on the Tikka . the standard rings that come with the tikka should do well for hunting , the down side is you can only mount up to a 42 mm bell and that depends on the scope maker as all 42mm may be different if they have AO's. the rings that come with the Tikka the front one does have the stud(recoil Lug ) that fits into the top of the receiver so once mounted they shouldnt move at all , i didnt use mine as i have tried two different scopes on my T3 a 1 inch tube Leupold and the current Leupold that i have mounted . i used Millet High rings on the 1 inch tube they worked out great zero problems (they are for sale now ) . on my current setup i use Weaver 61 bases both front and rear , and i have had zero problems with them they are only for short term use , as i have emailed Sako/Tikka to see if a rail for a TRG-22 will fit on the Tikka receiver my other option is Ken Farrell will make a 20 moa rail for 125.00 . i see that Tikka will market a Piccatiny base for T3 thats good to hear as i may hold off on the Farrell to see as of right now i havent heard back from Sako/Tikka on the rail . if i can answer any other questions for you let me know as i will check back on the post .

Also how is the accuracy of your rifle? I think I must be reading it wrong, it looks like your saying it shoots between 1/4" and 1/2"?
