options for lightweight quick detach rings on a tikka t3?

[medvedyt]

Hello,

i d like to know what options are available if any for quick detach system lightweight for a tikka t3/3x?

i have open sights coming on 2 tikka t3x and i want to be able to use them if possible and needed.

thank you.

Does bringing an allen wrench count as “quick detach”? I’m only half making fun.

Just curious, is this a takedown thing where you want to add and remove the scope for transport or some such reason, or is this an “only if my scope fails” thing?

why not, a piece of 25 cents was great to do it on ruger rings ...
well there is case when you encounter a bear after hauling meat that the open sights can be helpful and of course there is always the risk of a failing scope as of course it is never happening lol ...

If you're open to that I'd just carry whatever L-shaped wrench (allen/torx/etc) you need for your chosen rings and be done with it.

If the two scenarios that you fear are grizzlies and general scope failure, I don't think the speed advantage of QD levers over unscrewing your rings will be meaningful in either.

You could get the talley based with QR rings or get a rail and use leupold QR rings.

not sure if light enough but Warne has some as well

this is not the fear of grizzly but more being ready when you re hauling meat and you might not be able to find it in the scope or at night in the tent thus the sights so yes you re right about qd or not and i had in fly out taking always a spare scope.

might be a solution and they never failed me with the tikka system.

that is a good option but hard to find in canada but seems one of the best option.

i used for a while leupold QD rings (make by warne) that can fit on any piccatiny rail or bases (not the QR ones) and that removed with just a turn of the lever and alas within few days 3 of them failed. two on tikkas and one on a zastava full stock. seems the lever got loose and the alloy bottom part attached to the rail decided to live his own life 2 times and one time the lever got loose and i lost the small spring ...

it happened after road trips on our lovely roads and of course as well within few trips with a freighter canoe: so nothing terrible but seems the solution is not leupold weaver piccatiny quick detach rings for my useage.

when leupold was contacted that is not a faulty product ... so i guess i have to fine a better solution but not that one for now.
