SHV 3-10x42 using UM low rings on a Tikka. Do you think I’ll have issues with the brass ejecting?IMG_3253.jpg

Should I go shoot it or go ahead and move the rings and scope a little bit forward. There’s not much room to work with.

It looks just like mine. You might get brass marks on the turret cap. And It leaves me a little baffled why everything between ejection port, rail and rings lines up so wonky there (for everyone, not just you), but mine have not been a problem.

Thanks for the response!

I was more worried about the front ring base.

I'd shoot it before moving anything. Low rings on a Tikka often look tighter than they really are, and brass will tell you more than eyeballing the scope. If the cases eject clean and do not leave a rub mark, leave it alone; if you get a nick or a hang-up, then move the scope forward or go up a ring height. Five or ten rounds will tell you more than dry-cycling it by hand.

Yeah, once I get my bolt back, I’ll go shoot and see how everything functions. Thx for the feedback.

No issues for me and I’ve run the front ring further back than yours and I have run the same scope in Low and Medium UM’s. Multiple calibers including .270 and 7mag.
