Don’t know about the rail and rings but I have four Tikkas with the 40mm Leupolds (not the 50mm). They all are mounted in DNZ Game Reapers. Absolutely no problems.
I hunt with 260 REM, 6.5 PRC, 308 Win, 7RM and 300 WM. I have never weighed any of my rifles but would assume that my Tikka T3 SL in 7RM with a Leupold 4.5 x 14 and my Browning HCS in 300WM with the same scope both weigh 8 lbs or under. I don’t shoot a lot but enjoy shooting all of my rifles...
I own a Tikka T3 SL in 7RM, Browning HCS in 300 WM and Christensen Ridgeline in 6.5 PRC. I am happy with any one of the three while hunting. All three are accurate with factory ammunition. The only altering I’ve done on these is a spring in the HCS and a Timney in the Ridgeline. If all three...
I have a Browning HCS in 300WM that had Talley LW’s and had no problem until I changed scopes. The scope I changed to had less adjustment and I could not adjust enough to get on target. I knew that the scope I pulled off didn’t have that problem but didn’t know at the time it had more...
I don’t have any experience with the Bergera but do own both the Tikka in 7RM and a Ridgeline in 6.5 PRC. The Tikka is a SL. I am pleased with both but if I were to buy a new rifle it would be the Tikka due to the price point.
Had the same problem with Talley’s on a Browning Xbolt. Had all the same answers above. Ordered DNZ Game Reapers and solved the problem. Had to turn my turrets half way to get back to center.
Ruger 44 auto rifle jammed while shooting at a buck I had jumped on a deer drive. Sold it the next week.
Live round stuck in the chamber of a Howa 1500 on a very dusty western hunt after firing a successful shot. Now carry a back up rifle on all travel hunts.
