Hey Chris, I want to buy a set of Talley Lightweight aluminum rings from you for a Tikka rifle but the ring in picture doesn't have the grroove cut in it for the top of the receiver on the rifle. It's number 930714. This is for a brand new Tikka, not an older one. I think Tikka and Sako have the same size rail cut into the top of the receiver but I'm not sure. Any advice?

I recently purchased a Tikka in a 6.5 X 55 SE and threw out the rings that came with the rifle. The screws were very soft and stripped when I installed them. Anyway, I used the Talley Lightweight rings 930714 that you are considering. These rings do not use the rail cut into the side of the receiver but bolt in using the 4 drilled and tapped scope mounting holes on top. These holes have plastic plugs, not metal screws, so you will have to very carefully punch them into the receiver. Remember to retrieve these plastic plugs.
The Talley mounts worked very well !! |
