Leaning towards NF SHV F1 and Burris XTR Signature rings because I already have them. The NF is a known since I already using them on 2 Tikkas and a CZ. The Sako has integrated pic rail so that eliminates my usual rings. The Burris are a little heavier than most but this is not meant to be a...
I have Tikka SA with Sportsmatch TO84 rings holding NF SHV F1. I just moved it to a KRG Bravo stock. Scope just clears the barrel by a fraction of an inch. I thought I was going to have to abandon the Sportsmatch rings and go to a rail because my eye was above the eyepiece. I removed the cheek...
