Good info, thanks. Seems most try to tighten all 4 screws at the same time, like a typical ring. I did before reading the instructions.
When I worked for sportsmans I installed a couple hundred maybe thousand sets of Warnes as tikka was our big seller and those were the rings we carried. I've used them on my own rifles. Sportsmatch blows them away

Sorry, I’m not a Tikka owner but I’ve been watching this and other threads on this topic. Are Sportsmatch particularly well-suited for the Tikka, a great deal or some combination? Are the equivalent to or better than Seekins or Hawkins, or are they equal but more expensive?
Particularly well suited to the Tikka dovetail. Great mounting height for cheek weld and fits up to a 50mm obj with a sporter barrel and long eye relief.
Removes the need for a pic rail, especially with a scope and a short mounting surface. Which in turn removes extra rings. So fewer screw to loosen.
Short scopes don't play well with tikka 1 piece mounts from talley or seekins. Non issue with the sportsmatch
More clamping force than the direct mount seekins. I'm ashamed to admit bit I have a set of sportsmatch that are permanent on a tikka action since I got a little out of hand with the locktite

Even if they are out of stock you can still order them and as soon as they get them in they will ship. I have a 4x24x50mm trijicon mounted (it's all the way forward but I don't mind) with the lows you should be fine
Sorry mate, I think i'm blowing up any thread with these T084s and 50mm objective.
You were succesful with mounting your 50mm to a TX3 with the T084s? How much clearance did you have for a cover?

should give you an idea. both are t3x lites TO 84s with 4 x 24 x 50 mm trijicons. it only works because its all the way forward, but thats how Ive always shot without any issues. i also bought the HT 073s (next height up, mediums) but I liked it lower

Gotcha! Thank you so much. That actually helps a ton. I think I might be able to squeeze the RS .3 in. Legend mate!

I just bought a set of TO84s on eBay from seller nickwake (some UK optic shop). Put the order in Aug 29th, rings showed up at my house in Montana yesterday, 9/5. To my door for $74 USD. Global economy is pretty amazing.

I just ordered two sets from Bushwear.uk as they will ship to the US, in the oddities of the world, shipping from the UK was cheaper than shipping from most companies in the Lower 48.

Please let me know if this works. I bought a set without issue from Bushwear in summer 2022 but then tried to buy two more sets this spring and after waiting for 3 weeks and seeing tracking updates that the item was stuck in customs, I got a refund of all my money and an email that said my order was cancelled. Still not sure what happened but I suspect they were either lost in transit or never cleared customs…

After that happened I backordered 2 sets from Airguns of Arizona And after about 6 weeks they arrived. They have great customer service and provided updates on my order along the way via email. I’ll be using them in the future if I buy any more.

I just ordered my 4th set from them. They are often backordered and you might have to wait a month until their next shipment but Arizona airguns is the way

I’ve ordered from both Arizona Airguns and Bushwear, they’re both good companies and good customer service, so it really comes down to whether you want to want for them to come off of back order (AA) or potentially wait for them to clear customs (BW). Mine only got stuck in customs for a week or two, but it was a little frustrating.

That’s good to hear. Having mine/lost cancelled left a bad taste in my mouth because one set was a gift for a family member that never arrived. Thankfully I got a full refund and it all worked out in the end. The tracking for it was nuts, I just remembered I took the screenshots below. Almost seems like it reached the US and then went back to the UK. I tried asking USPS but they had no explanation…

If I had done a little more research, I probably would have ordered a set of the Sportsmatch. Instead I purchased a Mountain Tactical Rail.

Just wanted to chime in here and say that Sportsmatch is a great company to deal with, regardless of where you buy their rings. I contacted their customer service to ask about the specs for a screw I’d stripped out, hoping to find one locally. They sent me a complete set of replacement screws, washers, and the correct hex key all free of charge.

Anyone know if these come in a LOW? Mediums will put it a bit high for the NXS 42mm objective
Here are a couple of pics of mediums with 42 mm objective SWFAs. I don’t think they are going to be too high for you.
