Put these on my 300 win super light a while ago, got her all setup and haven’t really shot it much. Overall nice quality rings I would have liked to had a recoil stud in there and not sure why he made the base of them bigger than the top of the action it just would have been cleaner looking if they were the same size
Lots of people want recoil lugs and i kind of get the reason (piece of mind), but those rings have held up and held zero on everything have put them on, a couple gun builders here in Coeur D Alene, ID. And i haven't heard 1 issue of them not holding yet.
Andy doesn't even think they are necessary when talking to him, i had even mentioned a removable pin, because it might mean more sales and he didnt think it was necessary. I know he has been selling loads of these to places where tikka is more popular across the ocean and he sells them in 50 set or more batches per order and they love them.
I originally wished these had the lug also... but honestly I’ve had the 34mm since they first released (6 months or so?). Shooting several hundred rounds, and dragging this rifle all over the mountains and they’ve held on perfectly. I’d do them again in a heartbeat and plan to with a future Tikka.
I have several sets of the hybrid rigs, rem 700 and Tikka. They've all been fantastic. I usually bed mine to the scope tube just to be careful and ensure proper fitment. Not all 30mm tubes are the same.
