Tikka Vortex Combo Scope Question

[curlewkiller]

I mounted a Vortex Crossfire 4-12x50mm on my new tikka t3 lite 308 and I used Game Reaper DNZ scope mounts in medium.  I have about a 1/16 of clearance.  Is this enough?

I had a 50mill Vari XIII on mine. I used leuy medium base rings and I had a playing card of clearance and it drilled holes

1/16" gap is perfect as long as it's not too short for your cheek weld. I run my scopes as low as possible.

[HawkCreek]

It'll be fine. I like to get my scopes as low as possible.

Just don't try and slide a butler creek scope cover over it.

I pretty much have 50mm scopes and try and use DEDNUTZ on any gun. I've never had a problem. Sometimes you can move the scope forward a bit to get more clearance too..

I have a tikka with a vortex viper 6-12x44 and medium dnz game reapers and have just enough clearance

You might end up missing a nice buck, twice

I take someone already did.....I cannot wait to shoot this gun. Am I going to cringe with the recoil on the 308?  I am a fairly large human.  I am finding it hard to laser bore sight in my rifle without a good gun vise.  Any tricks?  Other than get a gun vise...

congrats on the rifle

Recoil on a 308 ain't bad  . Granted you won't be able to shoot it all day But you'll be able to shoot it

Got a backpack?

I never use a laser......or a vise.

Remove bolt
Set rifle on a backpack, or a couple jackets etc.
look down bore and sight bore on something around 50 yards away.
Adjust optic
Repeat as necessary until optic and visually sighting down the bore are correct.
Replace bolt

This should put you on paper.

Works great just be careful not to bump the gun while you're working.

I steady the rifle with one hand when I look down the bore and crank the turrets. Just realign and repeat if the rifle moves a little. It's even better if someone is with you and they adjust the turrets While you hold the rifle steady on the bench, pack or bipod.
