Tikka 270 WSM scope and scope mounts

[EDT]

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?

loose the weaver style mounts and go with the leupolds you cant go wrong with them

Dednutz are better than most.....

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.

solid,  but adds a little bit of weight if you're building an ultralight rig

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.

But you can afford cool stuff, unlike us retired slobs......

you buy more crap than I ever dreamed of 

remember I drive a 1995 Dodge, not a new duramax with silly license plates

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.

...........a Dodge. I thought you drove a little foreign job when we went shooting. That was really embarrassing you know....
