Thread: Advice for first centrefire rifle

Mate.....not a wind up here,but interested in why you state they are “crap”,I’ve used the Tikka rings on a 300WM,HMR17,and the 223,never had any issues at all.I will support the fact that you can purchase better rings,but you can purchase “better” equipment even on the high end production guns.

I toyed with the idea of discarding Tikkas standard rings,but after doing a little research found they were having no issues,and if you did,Tikka replaces them free of charge.I will say this,with every Tikka purchased,they used to provide a set of rings with the purchase,they don’t seem to do that now.I even sent an email,stating I thought that was bullshit,they set the standard,so they should continue that,to which they have not replied.....
