Tikka T3x Scope Rings

[thinhorn_AK]

Form - what height/model number do you run with a 3-9x SS? I would be running a 2.5-10x42 NF but the they are both 42mm objectives

i think the to84 is what I got.

Yea - I was just about to buy them off ebay at $39 - but then they wanted $35 to ship from Europe....

TO84.

 

[Formidilosus]

It’s worth the $74.

When I ordered mine from the UK I believe it was less than 50 dollars for the rings + shipping.

Any thoughts on Hawkins rings for a tikka? Looking for some for rings for a custom rifle I have being built

that’s the guy who owns the shop I ordered from. his shop is called “tawnado airguns”. I ordered them last summer and I got them in about a week, it was faster and less expensive than I’d thought it would be.

I have the Hawkins rings on a 6.5 and I think they do a great job. I'm not hell on guns and I don't shoot thousands of rounds per year, but they have held on well, and the built-in level is nice.

They are nice rings from what I’ve seen. However, using four tiny screws instead of the built in rail when the added inclination is not absolutely necessary... is akin to having an integrated Picatinny rail, then adding another pic rail on top, then adding pic rings.

One of these US companies should look at what Sportsmatch did, improve it, and sell it.

I’ve got both the Hawkins and the Sportsmatch rings.

The Hawkins have been solid (T3X 6.5 w/ ATACR 4-16x42).
The Sportsmatch have been perfect also. I have a set on a T3X 223, and a T1X both with SWFA 3-9.

I wish I could get the Sportsmatch rings, but with torx head screws, and some cant built in.

SWFA Lows and a 419 20 MOA rail is pretty damn low

What problem(s) exist with Leupold base and rings, as they are never recommended?

Dual Dovetails are robust mf’ers. Windage adjustable is crap.

I don't think the eBay guy (or store) is shipping to the US right now. I tried and they won't accept a US address for shipping.

Is this a con to Leupold? Could you explain in just a FEW more words? With boresighting as I tighten the scope, I’ve never had a problem related to windage. Are you saying the dovetails on both rifle and base can potentially provide slack or play? I’m certainly not saying Leupold is top of the line, just trying to see advantages in other brands, and if it is really a factor in lower recoil calibers, such as .243.
