Just bought a Tikka T3 Tactical in .308. Comes with a Picatinny rail. Sent SWFA an email re rings and was told that only the Badger Ordnance rings would fit. Anyone have any information to the contrary. I personally can't see why the IOR Tactical or Leupold Mark 4 rings wouldn't work. Thanks. |

It is a standardized rail system that a ton of rings should fit fine. I think there must have been a disconnect in the emails.

on a picatinny rail, any weaver style rings will mount on it, but for a tacitcal rifle, spend the money for the badgers they are THE BEST.

Thanks guys. I thought there must have been a misunderstanding. Hey Redneck, not disputing that Badgers are the best, but what is it exactly that makes them better? I'm iron sight M1A shooter and this is my first tactical rifle. Planning on getting a Super Sniper 10x42m on it. Which rings? Thanks again. |

badger ordnance rings have a perfect fit, because in a set of them, they are both made in the same mould, so they fit perfectly, and not jsut moulded, and thrown in a tub like leupold, and most others do, and they are the stronhest, and alot of people will back me up here. as for the SS10x42, its an excellent choice. rongs for it, i would get the max 50's, and i want to say standared height, but chris, or somebody else can better comment on ringt height for that gun.

Hey Cory thanks. Okay. SS scope and Badger Max 50 rings. It has an adjustable comb, so someone else was recommending Medium height.
Any other thoughts?? Paul |

I would get it as low as possible and only raise it if it did not fit me. Unfortunately this can only be determined by trial and error. Standard height Badgers will get it as low as possible.

Hey redneck, Burris rings start off as a solid piece of steel that is machined until it becomes a ring. And the top and bottom of that ring stay together (facing the right direction), throughout that process. The only thing that I do not like about Burris rings are the ones that come with the plastic inserts. Too gimmicky for me and I have never had them line up right.

I would go medium height Badger's. The standards may work, but the mediums would work no doubt. That's what I run on my Rem. .308.
I saw the Tikka tactical Saturday @ a store in Charlotte. I was impressed. The Sako/Tikka sales rep say's they will shoot sub moa out of the box. |

I have just purchased a brace of T3 Tacticals one in .223 in 20" and a 308 in 24" after selling my prized AI AW. I have a S&B PMII 3x12x50 to put on the 308 and a US Optics SN3 Tpal to go on the 223.
I am correct in assuming the rail fitted is a 0 moa unit and not a 20 moa ?
If so i will be fitting the 20 moa scope mount from Accuracy International that fits the AI AW .338 and hanging the US Optics direct to the rail with Badger ones i had kicking about with no 20 moa step up (the US O has a good enough adjustment to get me to 800 yards out of the box)
Any comments are welcome, i collect these 2 rifles in a few days and looking forward to getting em zero'd in. |
