Best T3X mounting solution for the $$$

[Hunter270Win]

Hey guys I’m not sure if I need a 20 MOA pic rail or not, just a preface.

I just picked up a Burris FFIV 2.5-10x42 with 1” objective for a great price (have to do this in a budget).

The Sportsmatch are out of stock, so those are off the table plus I need a rail for eye relief anyways.

Any recommendations for rail and rings? Do I need a recoil lug or 20 MOA? Trying my best here without spending too much

I’d pick up a pair of Unknown Munitions medium or high direct mount tikka rings and be done with it. Those will solve your geometry problems, eliminate an interface that could fail, and do contain a recoil lug.

Unknown munitions tikka rings first mountain tactical raptor mount second.

UM rings sound nice but the scope I have is stubby and I likely need better eye relief

Can always return.

I have a adm recon qd mount that I put a vortex 4-16 in. I have pic rails on most of my regular use rifles so I can just move scopes around. I did have to buy the pic for my t3x varmit, but my upr came with it. 20moa bases are only necessary if your planning on exceeding the moa travel in your scope. Most are quite generous already. FYI the 6.5 cm 140 eldm factory load uses 20 moa at 770 yds.

Area419 rails are nice. Given you want more flexible mounting, I would avoid a rail without center lugs.

Only the front ring has limited mounting options on the native dovetail due to the recoil pin on Sportsmatch and I doubt it will be too far back, you can put the rear ring where ever you need. UM rings can be done similarly and will likely be cheaper than a rail and rings.

Does anyone know how to get the sports match rings? I see them on Air Guns of Arizona, but they are out of stock. Any wait time that y'all know about?

Picatinny rail does sound interesting. What would y'all recommend for rings?

 

[Hunter270Win]

UM rings are about out of my price range if I am being honest

You can email AoA, their waitlist items usually come in around a month. Or if you can wait a week I can send you some.

I might have a set of 1” sportsmatch rings around , I’ll take a look later this evening.

I’ve ordered 4 sets from them that were all out of stock. Each one arrived in 2-4 weeks.

Just shipping from WY brother. PM me your address. I'll be back in the shop the 19th and will root around for the 1" set of SportsMatches I'm never going to use.

Grab a mountain tactical rail & be done with it.
You won't need a 20moa rail unless you're planning on BIG distances.

UM rings are a little more flexible for scope mounting position than sportsmatch due to the additional recoil pin provisions.

PM’d this will be the solution I will go for. I guess the thread can now exist for future folks looking into it!

Are the Sportsmatch 1" medium rings low enough for a 40mm objective? AoA has them in stock and I need some 1" rings. UM is out of stock at this time.
