Hey guys and girls,
Got myself a tikka veil widelands which is still in transit but wanted to sort some scope rings out before it arrives so I'm ready to go. For the life of me I can't figure out what the mounting system is. Any advice on this and also I guess advice on what the best brand rings to go for.
Thanks in advance guys
Optilocks if you want to mount to the dove tail. Or a picatanny rail and then any rings that mount on the rail.
I run talleys on most of my hunting tikkas,
Rail and rings on my comps rifle, but not needed for majority of hunting rifles.
Works a treat
Talleys. Simple choice for a standard hunting rifle.
+1 for talleys.
I've probably got some talleys in both 1 inch and 30mm if you need some
Fk a rail
Im rougher then most on my set ups and never had an issue with tellys
Broken a few Z5 in tellys tho haha
Talleys. Get as low as you can go on a standard Tikka stock.
I use a dnz one piece
LMcNab had some of these on his rifles and rated them. Bought some from the States directly in medium mounts. On my T3 223. We have 2 other T3's with Optilocks. But these DNZ are super rock solid. Head shooting last 5 deer using them and 53 gr Barnes. They are impressive rings.Quote:

Nz Asia usually have them in stock and can send them to your local shop .
My theorie is less bits bolted/ clamped together less to go wrong.
Talleys on my Tikka - very good fit.
A couple of things I have found.
Just mounted an nx8 on talleyz to a client's xbolt
All went well till I tried to stretch the legs on it.
Any way.
Just looking for a scope and mount to stick on a rebarelled tikka.
Rememberd I had a lephoto mount and rings
Hers a photo.
Even comes with internal bubble level and screwed on to the tikka dovetail.
20moa as well.
Has ur scope perfect to the bore..
Pretty goòd value for $250.
Going to test rig tomorrow

Does the recoil resisting plate (meant for a pic rail) not get in the way?Quote:

Just when I had a look to take a photo that it's the bottom lip that grips under the pic rail is gripping the tikka base.
That means no cross bolt lock!
I just want to check its grouping ability so will leave it on till I gets it nf and correct rings.
Lol I new it shouldn't fit and on first appearances it did.
I should trust my instincts!

I have three tikka T3/Xs, they all wear Talley rings.
A great combination in my opinion. Very simple. Less to go wrong.
What height gets your z5 nice and low.Quote:

I do really rate spuhr mounts highly as well.
Very hard to go past optilocs as well.

Optilocks on a Tikka are completely pointless.
Use the top rail, only mount that really does this is the Spuhr direct mount, which saldy does not work with the original T3 on long action rounds, just T3x.
Optilocks in general are over-priced junk, screws are poor quality, unlike the original pre-Beretta Sako rings which were ace, windage adjustable and quick detach to boot.
The Beretta group reliased it was better to sell people both rings and bases. The ringmounts, while better, are over priced to the extreme.
Thanks for all the feedback, Talley's seem like a popular and safe/simple solution. Love the look of those Leupold mounts too. Some interesting comments about quick release mounts, I guess this is for swapping optics between rifles? Didn't know what was a thing, I assume you have to re zero every remount? I'm interested in this as only have one optic between now two rifles until I can squirrel enough money away for a second scope.
GPK, Cheers for the offer! I'll send ya a PM

I missed what scope you are running but these in 30mm are a great deal.
Sorry cant see the buy and sell forum yet as I'm too new or they think I'm a spam bot:XD:
