Mounting pattern? Tikka T3x short action... anything else work?

[Panhandler80]

Anybody know if there's another option readily available with holes that line up on at T3X in .223? Trying to find something in town for immediate scope mounting. I've found a rail in town that will fit and I"m about to g pick it up. HOwever, I found this on amazon, and it can be here by Sunday, which would still allow me to go shoot this weekend. I didn't think a Leupold would match up to a Tikka.

Shop I ordered from didn’t realize they didn’t have a mounting system. Been waiting a week for rifle to come in. Would have been plenty of time to order something. Oh well. They nice folks. No hard feelings.

I feel like this, always winds up being a scramble for me. And I’m a pretty stout planner!

The sportsmatch rings are worth waiting a week for.

If you’re going to use a Tikka, your best options are the UM Tikka rings followed by the Sportsmatch rings.

Talley and others make direct mounts to the top of the receiver. They have the proper screw spacing.

Many companies make picatinny rails that mount to the top of the receiver. Then, you mount your scope to the pic rail. I like a pic rail because I move scopes around.

Finally, a few companies including Unknown Munitions and Tikka make mounted that take advantage of of the dovetails machined into the receiver.

I would go with the um tikka rings. way better attachment

Okay. I’ll take these back. Also 2x cost. Was just trying to get out this weekend. $136 pre tax for tally rail and rings.

I don’t care for rail due to no swapping.

Can’t stand it. It’s raining (very severe drought here, so good thing) and I’ve got the Talley rail and rings for tikka. May just go ahead and mount this ol gal. New rifle. New can. 25 year old scope.

.223 will be boys first rifle. I drew line at new glass. He’s almost 7. Shoots well and has done some cold and windy sits with me.

This year is the year!

Interesting piece, but lll just go with rail as opposed to that route. I’ll do rail, or this. Rail and rings in hand.

Not trying to "creep in" you had stated that you prefer to not use a rail when mounting a scope. I was just showing you our options, in case you were not aware of them.

Get it. Hence the PM and the public apology. You can see where I’m coming from though?
