SWFA 3-9 with Sportsmatch Rings

[Subs]

Does anyone have a picture of the SWFA 3-9 in medium Sportsmatch rings (T084)? I like to get my scopes as close to the barrel as possible. I’m setting up a T3x for hunting out west and just wanted to see an example before I order them. Alternatively, if you own the SWFA 3-9, could you tell me the outside measurement of the objective? I’ll use the math to work it out from there.

My part number is different than what you have listed, but these are medium rings on a Tikka T3X. Hope this helps.

Thank you! And you’re right. I was looking at rings for my T1x and got the parts mixed up. I edited the post with the correct part number.

You won’t have any issues with TO84 and swfa 3-9. That is a pretty great combo.

I had that setup for years before switching to UM rings.

Worry less about the medium rings and more about your cheek weld. Keep taping crap to the stock until you get a good “neutral” cheek weld every time.

Thanks everyone. Looking forward to putting it all together!

Do expelled cases hit that turret?

I haven’t had cases hit the turret with UM low and Medium rings.

A heads up for anyone wanting to buy the sportsmatch rings from Airguns of Arizona, the shipping for me was over $20. This puts the UM rings not much more. They’re backordered but I’m not in a rush.

I thought this sounded like a stretch but wasn't aware that they are selling the sportsmatch for $90 now. Didn't they used to be $60-something?

I believe that is correct.

Yes, I paid about $49 for mine a couple years back.

Tariffs + insane shipping inflation.

Think my first set was $40.

Yeah this from airguns arizona.

Before that there was a company over there that you could order from for like $25-30 a set, if you ordered a few pairs it offset the shipping. I'm talking like 7yrs ago, not 20yrs ago. Quite the price increase!

What made you switch?

I just wanted something different and there had been some reports of sportsmatch rings cracking.

Good to know. Just looking at getting my first tikka and not sure what I’m going to do
