UM TIKKA Scope Rings

[DRUSS]

Yes, they will.

Thanks Ryan

Are these able to make it to Canada?

@LivetohuntID

What are the recommended torque specs?

Are these compatible with the T1X rail also?

I don’t know rail compatibility, as I don’t know the different tikka dovetails.

15 in lbs. for the top screws. Probably around 35-45 for the bottom clamp screws.

Ordered…

 

[DangerRanger]

Will there be a cant option in the future once production catches up to the rokslide mob?

 

[Ryan Avery]

No, they will not fit.

 

[Bcleck90]

Thanks @LivetohuntID and @Ryan Avery. I’m going to order a couple for the T3X and was just curious about the T1X.

Only 15 for the top screws? If Form drop tested these I guarantee he torqued at least 20. 15 seems like it will allow scopes to move a lot!

Those torque specs seem pretty light.

Let’s be clear, the torque specs I said are estimates.

When they ship there will be complete install instructions, with torque specs that are tried and proven.

And for what it’s worth:

Three bolt rings can hold with no slip on a 33 XC with 118 grains of N570 at 15 in lbs.

Too much torque will take your perfect scope diameter rings and force them out of round.

Past a certain point you are deforming the material, not getting any more force on your scope tube. Surface area in contact with the scope tube is the biggest factor for holding a scope in place at any given torque spec.

You can’t compare torque specs when the bolts are different sizes, have varying thread engagement, or are being torqued into different materials.

I asked previously: but will this cover the ejection port like the T084s? And can we get a side by side with the T084s?

 

[Tullis94]

@Formidilosus what are your thoughts on the torque info given by @LivetohuntID . I'm not trying to be negative here. I genuinely want to know. I don't have the experience or technical knowledge! Im just looking for you thoughts.

If you have enough scope tube length you can install them outside of the ejection port. But if you have a short scope like an NX8 2.5-20 it will still cover the ejection port.

Thanks! Any chance of torx screws coming instead of hex?

 

[Stache Attack]

When I get my wife a new scope it’ll be mounted with these! Looks like an awesome set

Could be. Like he said, different designs have different torque values to reach the same clamping force. We’ll be able to say better soon.

UM, SRS, Avery and Form and anyone else involved. Just want to say thank you for your dedication to making products that work better for us. It’s nice to know where my money is going and who is behind a quality product.

Somehow I’ve ordered more sets than I have Tikkas.

You know what you have to do. No need delaying it.
