Rings and base for a tikka lite

[Desk Jockey]

I am pulling the trigger on a tikka lite in 6.5.

Still researching glass but leaning toward a leupold vx-3i

My plan is to mount talley rings to the reliever.

Question:

- What height ringsseem to be popular for this set up?
- should I be thinking about other options for a base and rings?

I have the Warne high mounts that mount directly to the Tikka rail. Less parts sounded good to me.

I like talleys. Height depends on the scope objective diameter.

I used talley low mounts with my vortex viper hst 4-16x44 and I think it fits great. I wouldnt mind if they were even a bit lower. My dad has the 50mm objective version of my scope and he used the medium rings.

2nd on the Warnes...working well for me.

Look into DNZ I prefer them over the Talleys now. Lows will work for 40mm objective.

2nd the DNZ I use low for my 44mm objective, my buddy has a 50mm objective and had use medium.

Focusing on a 40mm objective lens.

DNZ are all I will buy if they make them for my rifle. I have had too many problems caused by multi pice rings and bases.

Lows are what I have on mine with a 3x9x40 Burris.

Talley lows fit great for my 3-9x40 Leupold

What is the model number? Are you talking about a T3X in 6.5CM?

About to buy one myself, and wasn't aware of one in that caliber.

just bought a T3X superlite at SW today, been on order since June ... YESSIR, 6.5 CM

I have an original pair of the old T3 rings that were never used - I think, for the heck of it, I'll use them, torqued to precisely what Tikka said to in in/lb and see how they work with a tolerant kicker like the 6.5 (just to see for myself) since the ones that failed me awhile back had been way, way overtightened ...... by me - I have a hunch they'll work ok

Dang. No SW here, and Cabela's wants $900 for them with a massive backlog of 6.5 orders.

Gonna go for the T3X Lite stainless in .308.

I have a used 1” DNZ mount that I bought on here and never used because I put a 30mm on my new 300. PM me if you’re interested in purchasing.

DNZ are all I have put on my rifles since I found them.

0 problems.

I failed to mention that I've had several DNZ's on rifles too and they are stellar mounts

I have a tx3 lite on order from Whittakers. Not sure of the model number. It is not the super lite which has the fluted barrel but I don't live near a sportsmans wharehouse and don't want to pay up for camo I don't care for at cabelas.

Thanks for the input. I am going to do a bit more reading about the dnz options.

Did they anticipate when they would begin filling orders for the T3X Lite in 6.5?

Buying from Whittaker's already, and wouldn't mind waiting a bit, but I don't even know if such a rifle exists.

Beretta announced it but given the time we had to wait for the SL in 6.5cm there's no telling when the Lites will reach the shelves

I'm just gonna wait. It's what I want, and have rifles to use for this season.
