I plan on running TPS or seekins rings on my tikkas. My varmint has a weaver classic extreme 2.5-10x50, the Japan made one, on it. Nice scope but unsuitable for what I want to do. It's in Warne fixed tikka rings. Want to go with a pic rail when I get a different scope.

I have a love both. Seekins a bit more so.

For CTR, pic rings, I am partial to seekins. Others work just as well, seekins are clean, strong, and have yet to fail me.
For a T3, I am partial to Talley lightweights, they screw in directly on the action. The rings that come with the action are suitable only to piss you off and fail you at the worst time. Be mindful of the ease with which the CTR mag can be released. It is a great 10-round mag, and is $100 to replace. The release is too easily hit, and it would be an expensive lesson. Aside from that, velocity drops the moment the bullet leaves the barrel, always take higher BC over a bit more velocity. The round sheds v the whole flight, but the BC is constant. Lastly, McMillan makes a great replacement for the POS CTR stock. They go on sale occasionally. Get a stock for the T3 varmint then pay them $50 to inlet it. The CTR version is $800, the varmint can be had for $350+$50 for I letting. It is a great deal on a great stock. Don't pay $800 for the CTR version. |

Freedom is something you take.
Respect is something you earn. Equality is something you whine about not being given. |

Are you talking about the indexing marks on the TPS?

No, we are talking the same language.
Seekins are just a cut above TPS, IMHO. Both are great, so there's no "bad" choice.

TPS was mostly miss there for a while. Lot of folks got mad and looked elsewhere. Who could blame them?

True, you really can't. On the other hand I've read nothing but good about Seekins. The rings and their CS.

Many, many moons ago, we had a guy that worked for/with TPS. Cool guy, but we bagged on him HARD about TPS customer service. (Or the lack there of.)
Any who, he moved on. He hasn't been back since '13. Optics Talk is a hot range. "Ice up, Son".

I used 10x fixed SS scopes since 97, since back when they were Tasco. I used them at 6 sniper schools and for every application over the years. Just last year did i move to the 5-20x scopes. SWFA does an awesome job on their products! This year i plan on a few 3-15x SS scopes.
I have a like new set of Badger Ordinance medium rings if anyone needs any. |
