What Tikka T3x mounts

[Sako79]

A few months ago I picked up a Tikka T3x 338 win mag. I topped it with talley ultra light mounts and a Meopta optika 5 2-10x42. The recoil screwed up the scope inside and I had to send it back and they credited me my money.So I didn't have to send it in for warranty. I then just bought a Nightforce SHV 3-10x42. Now that it's a 30mm tube i need to buy new mounts.

What would you all recommend. I live in canada, so it could be difficult to get some of your recommendations

I personally use the UM ones. I like them a lot on sale.

And I can't recommend going with the dovetail mounts enough. Rock solid.

Hawkins has some direct mount, one piece rings similar in concept to the Talleys. The are spendy and have elevation built in, but they are an option.

+1 for Sportsmatch

I’ve had success with multiple of these.

I prefer a one piece direct mount, especially for heavy recoiling calibers like the .338. I'd recommend the Exterra Precision one piece ring, it is lightweight (under 4oz) and rock solid.
