Tikka 270 WSM scope and scope mounts
« on: December 05, 2013, 09:37:19 PM »
Picked up a Tikka SS 270 WSM, as you know it comes with scope rings on the rifle.  Are these mounts/rings worth keeping or would you suggest switching out with another brand, if so, which brand?  on all my other rifles I have Leupold rings/mounts. 
I am planning on getting a Leupold CDS scope and custom turrets for the rifle.  Im getting very excited about this set up.

What do you think of this?

I wish Leupold made dual Dovetail mounts for Tikka.  I have heard about DedNUTZ, but have not used them.

I trust the factory rings with any non magnum. I always upgrade the rings on my magnum tikka's. I have started using talley and been pretty happy with them so far.

I have some on a couple of rifles and I really like them. I use a very small drop of Loctite med strength to keep them from coming loose.

Nothing wrong with the stock rings on a Tikka. They've held up fine through hundreds of rounds of 180s from my 30-06.

I will say the DNZ mount/rings I recently put on my Remington 700 are really nice.

I like the DNZ better than the Talleys on my Kimber Montana.

I have a T3 Lite Stainless in 270WSM and use the stock bases and rings on my Leupold VX-III.  Gave my scope a pretty good bump on the high hunt last year and it held zero fine.  They're a little finicky about getting everything lined up and tightened up correctly, but after you get it all settled they are pretty solid on the 270 WSM, IMHO.  If I was shooting a higher recoiling round like the 300 or 325WSM, I might be more concerned.

With that rail I linked to above you could use quick detach rings and pop on a 3x red dot if you were into up close coyote hunting or hunting thick brush with shots less than 100 yards.

I have a burris ar332 I plan on sticking on there for night hunting, they see in the dark a TON better than a standard scope.



I've tested this up against a ziess that advertises good for low light and there is no comparison - the tube on the AR-332 is just so much bigger it brings in a ton more light.



kinda cool, just opens up a ton of options.

Go with the EGW rail and get your self some nice vortex rings. They have a set that are pricy but precision matched that very few company could beat. Other wise they have some lower profile really good rings.
