Tikka and Sportsmatch Rings. Am I looking at this right?

[Bcleck90]

I’m setting up a Tikka .223 for my girlfriend using Sports Match TO84 rings. First time using these so want to make sure I’m looking at this right.

What hole in the receiver are you guys using for the ring with the pin in the bottom?

Has anyone had any issue with the pin not fitting in the two smaller holes?

Just went through this. I used the larger one and pushed the pin as far forward as possible and with some force. It’s a roll pin but I don’t think it was going into those smaller holes.

this video helped. It’s for the sako rings but you get the idea.

Largest hole in the front part of the receiver.

If the pin is too long, tap it into the ring base a bit further.

Apply forward pressure to the ring with the pin when tightening.

Scope mounting to maintain zero

After multiple requests for an explanation of how to mount a scope in order to have the lowest possibility of loss of zero, a discussion of a scope mounting video, and the latest thread about scope bases and action screw coming loose, I took some pics of what I do with a rifle when I get it and...

I did the same thing.

Thanks guys. I just assumed that it was going to fit one of the smaller holes but I don’t think there’s anyway that’s going to happen.

Plenty of options for positioning the rings, I don’t use the pin provided because I like the front ring further forward
I put a pin at the back

is taht the factory pin in the top pic? Did you just tap it in? I need the pin in the rear hole for the opposite reason...I need the front ring farther back.

It is a pin cut from a 3 mm drill, used grease in the hole so it will come out if needed, it was a real snug fit

I see that you replaced the plastic factory plugs in the top of the receiver with steel ones. Where can those steel replacement plugs/screws be ordered?

I use a screw in one of the threaded holes. I grind the head down so it fits in the hole on the bottom of the ring.

Thanks! It's weird because I don't see the Amazon link in your post above (#12), but when I hit reply, then the Amazon URL shows up in the quote of your post.

Edit: After saving/posting my reply, the Amazon link went away again. Is anyone else seeing this issue, or is everyone seeing the Amazon link?

There is something weird going on with the font colors right now on the page. I tried changing it but no luck. For instance the notification alarm right now isn't showing up as red either, its white.
