With some help here I went with Talley for my Tikka T3 Lite. I also chose a Luepold and a simple leather sling to keep the weight off. 9 days of thick brush hunting with some falls and tree knocks, the scope stayed true. I've also heard good things about DNZ. What are you putting together?

I have a set of talley light weight rings on my 300wsm tikka. They have held up really well. I just put a set on that 7mm stw build I was telling you about. I am pretty much a warne ring guy but talley has been good to me so far.

I like CONETROL "CUSTUM" RINGS, but like elbows everyone has one or two opinions. They have been on most of my guns since the 70's.  :twocents:

Almost anything except the standard Leupold bases. I really like Talley Lightweights, and another great ring is the Burris Signatures. I prefer to use them with Weaver style bases.

You really can't beat 'em. No lapping required.

Thanks bobcat I'm looking into them more.

I'm wondering if anyone knows any gun smiths out there that can get this scope totally dialed in for me, this is my first tactical scope and I know that there's a lot to it..

 :)my tikka 300wm wears tikka rings work just fine for the last 10-12 years. what ever ya do, do not use anything that raises the scope above the bore, like bases.
