Tikka T3 Scope Mounts T3X

Description

Made in America, these Tikka T3 Scope Mounts made by Talley Manufacturing offer a unique and simplified one-piece scope ring and base solution for Tikka T3 and T3X rifles. This simplified mounting system eliminates the possibility of an “out of alignment” interface or “loose connection” between the ring and base of traditional two-piece designs.  Ultimately this provides more strength and durability than rival steel rings and bases, but with a lighter overall weight. Fully CNC machined from lightweight aircraft-grade aluminum to the industries tightest tolerances, this rigid scope mounting platform requires no lapping and is ready to go out of the box.

 

With over 40 years of setting the industry standard for superior quality, Talley Scope Mounts have become known for precise tolerances. American craftsmanship, state-of-the-art CNC automation and stringent quality controls have vaulted Talley products to the top of the scope ring industry. Talley Scope Mount systems provide repeatability, flexibility, strength, and durability for the most discriminating of sportsmen.  Simply said, Talley Scope Mounts are the best.

What height scope rings do I need for my Tikka T3 T3X?

Simplified method of determining required scope ring height

• Using some sort of shim (i.e. coins, washers, magnets) stack up the required number of shims to achieve desired scope height.
• Verify final height does not interfere with operation of bolt handle.
• Measure the final stack of shims.

Key Benefits for Tikka Shooters

• Eliminates need for lapping: The ultra-precise CNC machining means the rings perfectly cradle your scope tube without inducing stress marks, skipping the tedious lapping process entirely. 
• Direct-To-Receiver Rigidity: Bypasses the need for a separate Picatinny rail, lowering the overall height of your optic for a tighter, more instinctive cheek weld. 
• Unmatched Weight Savings: Ideal for backcountry hunters looking to optimize their lightweight Tikka rifle without compromising on structural integrity

Torque Recommendations?

• Cap Screws on Rings:  17-20 in/lb on ring cap screws. Do not exceed scope manufacturer’s allowable torque specs on main tube. Always recommended to verify with scope manufacturer allowable torques to prevent marking or damage to scope tube.  Always verify with the scope manufacturer the maximum  allowable torque on main tube.

 

• Tikka T3 Scope Mounts to Action: Torque can depend on the receiver. Please check with the rifle manufacturer (Tikka) to verify allowable torque into receiver. Always make sure your torque wrench is calibrated, Talley Mfg is not responsible for damage caused to scopes or firearms due to over torquing.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Do these mounts fit both the Tikka T3 and T3x? Yes. The receiver hole spacing and profile are identical on the Tikka T3, T3x, and Tikka Master platforms
• Do I need a Picatinny rail with these rings?No. These are integrated one-piece rings and bases that mount directly into the rifle’s factory receiver holes, bypassing the need for a separate rail.
• Do these Tikka Scope rings have a recoil pin? No, these rings are designed as a direct fit mount utilizing the screw holes on the top of the receiver vs the dovetail and as such do not require the use of a recoil pin.

 

Loctite?

• Although not always necessary, using Loctite for the screws going in the receiver is perfectly fine. We do not recommend using anything stronger than Loctite Blue 242. We do not recommend using Loctite on the ring screws. Always test fit before applying  any Loctite.
