What are the best scope rings for Tikka T3 300wm

[muzzleman]

I am gonna put new scope rings on my Tikka.  I want to put on what is not going to get out of line when its bumped or several shots being put through the rifle.  I think I want rings that will directly mount to the rifle.  No ring mounts or rails.  I currently have the stock Tikka rings on the rifle, with the leupold VX-2 3-9x40 scope.   I looked at several different types of rings and would like some feedback on what you all are using on your rifles.

EGW one piece base then picatinny rings of any flavor you want.

I went with burris XTR rings, not super light, but super robust and you can get the picatinny top cap for a spot to put a coyote light on.

With the EGW base you can go with the XTR low rings, or medium if you want a 50mm scope.

I've used the standard Tikka rings with no problem on a 30-06. I've also had good luck with Warne bases and rings. They're a bit beefier.

I have the Tikka in .300 WSM with a Leupold 4.5-14.  I took it to Outdoor Emporium (Sportco) in Seattle and asked them the same question.  Surprisingly they told me to use the stock mount/rings and that they were as durable as anything he'd seen.  I took his advice and haven't had any issues.

The ones that come in the Tikka box. been using them for many yers on up to a 338 mag, and a 300wm down to a 223. no problems.

I went with an EGW rail myself.  Works nice and looks good.  I'm not a fan of the stock rings. 

Nice thing about the rail is you can get a 20MOA rail, for longer range shooting it gives a little more elevation for your scope.

Originals are good the screws a little soft i have used DNZ they are well made.

I have Leupold rings with Leupold 2 piece bases on mine. I like them. Only issue was before they could be installed the receiver had to be drilled and tapped for the larger leupold base screws. I believe this problem has been fixed since then. They were put on quite some time ago and the mounts had just came out if I recall correctly.

Sounds like I'm gonna give a try to the mounts that are on there. It's suppose to be sighted in now.  We will see From the ground travel from Wisconsin to here on ups that should be a good measure.

Never mounted and in the original package.

Thinkingman I am trying not to use rails I think that the more things I stack on top of the barrel the more things can go wrong. but thank you for the offer.

Talley rings that bolt directly to your action are great. About $50 and they're solid. On a bigger gun like a 300 mag I would definitely get better rings and glue them down. Dealing with mounting problems is no fun. I use the Tikka rings on a 223 and haven't had a problem although I've heard of people having problems with larger calibers.

I've got six T3's and all wear the Talley solid steel, matte finished bases and rings.

From the 25-06 to the 300 WSM's, they all have the Talley's as I like uniformity and trust that they will handle what we oftentimes unintentionally dish out.  Securing a well made, reliable scope inside these rings can help to not ruin a trip, as well.

What I have on mine, but my bases fit right on

It doesn't get much more solid than a picatiny rail. I have a 20MOA rail from tikka performance on mine with vortex's top end rings whatever they call them. All they are is sekins rings with the vortex logo on them. Pretty solid out to 800 with this set up
