Talley Rings Mounting Issue

[chillybean]

Hi, I was trying to mount my Talley scope rings directly to my Tikka T3x Lite but noticed the screws provided won’t screw into the receiver. The holes don’t look threaded after a closer look. Does this Tikka only take dovetail mounts? A little bit confused because everywhere I saw said Talley rings work perfectly for the Tikka T3x and I even emailed Talley to double check before ordering.

Here is a link to my Tikka: https://www.eurooptic.com/tikka-t3x...jxj-Z-Wrpg5ZMpcJLAaOVA6cWBDUTuLbUMKzd38VAR6VO

Any help would be appreciated. TIA

The ones with the slotted heads are in the tapped holes, you need to take them out first. However, I would recommend using a set of rings that clamps onto the integral rail and uses the built in recoil lug slot, like sports match or unknown munitions

Ah okay that makes sense. I was curious about those slotted heads but was unsure if those were meant to be removed. Thank you
