« on: May 16, 2016, 11:19:37 AM »
Ok I just picked up a vortex pst 4-16x50 for my tikka t3 and I want to use a dnz one piece mount. The question is what hight should I get.

I've got the standard height on my Tikka with a 42mm Monarch and there's not much room, I highly doubt it would clear a 50mm.

I use a Deadnutz low with my Nikon Monarch 42mm/Tikka and it just barely clears. 

Tikka T3:

Mount fits both left and right hand firearms.

Base screws are 6-48 X 1/4″ long. Ring screws are 6-40 X 5/8″ long. Both screws use a 7/64″ Allen wrench.

All T3 actions are the same length. Outside to outside of rings is 4.08″. Standard rings have 2 screws per ring and rings are .63″ wide. Tactical rings have 4 screws per ring and are .80″ wide. Hole to hole spacing dimensions are .86″, 3.25″, .86″. Height of mounts from top of receiver to centerline of scope tube is – low .94″, medium 1.06″, and high 1.19″.

With a 50mm, your best bet is to use a high mount. That is also what is recommended from DNZ as well.
