Thread: Game Reaper rings

Heres the set on my Howa Alpine, these were actually advertised as being for a weatherby vangaurd, no mention of Howa. I was pretty sure they were exaclty the same so took the gamble. Im assuming it was something to do with franchises being obligated to certain brands or some such rubbish.



And here is the set on the Tikka



I like the one piece setup, they are super easy to install, lightweight and so far have been rock solid. The price is also pretty competitive compared to other options and with them attaching straight to the action, my theory was it reduced the number of points where movement was possible.
Both these rifles are chambered in 308, and the Tikka is running a 16 inch barrel so it is pretty lively and the zero moved once in 3 years when I fell on my ass with it slung over my shoulder.
Anyway, moral is, for a hunting rifle, Id struggle to recommend them highly enough!

I like them, I will be mounting some on another rifle.
They have plenty of thread so in theory they are holding though plenty of of material and should be good for an alloy ring.

Medium from memory.

I have put a set on our T3 223 replacing our Tikka Optilock rings. They are impressive. Head and neck shooting with confidence. My mate used my rifle last night nailing 3 deer dispatched that way. He loved it. Great advice. They just do not move. Rock solid.
