Tikka bonded pic rail or direct mount rings?

[Terrapin]

What's the weight on Tikka Medium rail/ring setup?

Just under 4 ounces for the Tikka. A little less for the Howa (3.85) and a little more for the Rem700 (4.1) Short Action.

Make them and sell them. I’ll buy some.

I’m doing these under a new company, and as silly as it sounds, I really don’t want any revenue during until after the first of the year. My accountant is a jerk and doesn’t understand things like Christmas money.

I went the bonded rail route.

I like the design of your system. I do not like the fact that the bubble level is centered. Its a deal breaker for me if I have to come out of the scope or move at all to check level. For that reason, offset only, and preferably near the action. Just a personal preference. I didn't see weights listed on your site? May want to consider adding some for interested buyers!

I built some with the level on the side, but I suddenly started missing everything to the right.

Just kidding, I do have scope tops with the level offset to the side. I’m going to have those as an option. I still prefer the level on the top (less snaggy and more protected), but a significant percentage prefer the offset.

Weight on the Tikka is just under 4 ounces. Thank you for reminding me to put that on the webpage.

I’ve always used the UM rings and they have worked for me. Thanks to a clumsy person at my local range, I had a rifle fall ~3 feet off a bench onto concrete. It marred the elevation ring a little, but the SWFA scope and UM rings held zero. I recently removed that scope and rings from the rifle and nothing was bent. That makes me a fan of that system.

I can, however, also see advantages in permanently mounting a picatinny rail to the receiver. What are you folks using to bond it?

PS - as you can see, I currently also prefer the bubble mounted on the rail where I can see it without breaking position.

Nice to see some people have a sense of humor here!

I like a rail because I love to play musical scopes. I'm addicted to it.

The downside of a tikka rail is that they are all 20moa. I don't shoot enough past 800 yards to warrant the cant. Does it sacrifice scope clarity? Maybe. Maybe not enough to tell.

Tikka T3 Standard Action Improved Scope Rail

At Area 419 we decided that there were no scope bases on the market that really met our requirements for quality, so we made our own. Its all in the little details that set this base apart from the competition. These are machined in house on our 4-axis HAAS VMC from 7075 Aluminum. Straight...

Didn’t know I wanted these. Until now.
