New Tikka Ring Option from Warne

[igethangry]

New alternative option

8514TM Warne HyperLite 30mm, Tikka Medium Matte Rings

Shooting enthusiasts who use Tikka rifles appreciate how the models have a grooved receiver that eliminates the need for a base. These 1-inch scope rings are built to use that dovetail.

Just ordered a pair.

They look nice, wonder how durable they are? What the hell is magnafusion alloy?

 

[nm.otter]

I'm guessing high magnesium content alloy.

 

[NWBLKTAIL]

I’m willing to try them, what’s with the gray clamp set?

 

[NWBLKTAIL]

With the discount that’s about what Sportsmatch cost now from AirgunsofAZ

Ask Nightforce the same question.

 

[HairyScandinavian]

Interesting. Think I'm gonna try them just trying to decide if I wanna use a 30mm or 1" tube.

 

[NWBLKTAIL]

Ask Nightforce the same question.

Is this a nightforce thing as well? I don’t have any of their products.

Just thought it was odd the way it was added separately to the cart from the rings. Probably a moot thing for me to notice

I stripped a three sets of hyperlites out last December.

Hmm not good news

There should be pictures here if you search. They replaced all of them with Mountain Techs; 34mm and 30mm. The magnesium material wouldn't take torque on the screws past 18-20inlbs.

Yeah. I’d pass on these and get the UM rings personally.

Just bought a pair.

Any review you'd like to share?

 

[nm.otter]

Happy to do that when I can. I just ordered them last night -- and my rifle is waiting on a custom stock that will take a few weeks.

 

[Gadjet]

Looks like UM rings.

 

[MuleyFever]

I wish I could remember if I bought the HyperLite for my wifes muzzleloader last year. Anyway that clamp piece snapped on me when I was tightening them.

 

[TheM1DoesMyTalking]

Warne's instructions for these rings is 18 in/lbs for the base screws and 18 in/lbs for the cap screws. All without any thread locking compound. I am not confident that they will hold zero when installed that way.

Only the front ring comes with a recoil pin, not both rings. And only two pin positions, not three each.

I'll keep buying UM Tikka rings.

I've had them in my cart since last night trying to buy them, but the 18 in/lbs for the bottom screws keeps stopping me. That just doesn't seem right. I don't mind 18 up top. If their material is so weak it can't do more than 18 on the bottom then I don't have confidence in their grip.

For sure.
