I decided to buy new rings for my Tikka T3 lite 22-250. What are the best rings? And what type or style should I buy. The gun is drilled for "regular rings" and then they have the other type which I do not know the name "weaver?" that go directly on the gun. Little help here for a newbie. Scope is a 6-20X50 Conquest if that matters.
Thanks a bunch, the scope is due to arrive today. So I want to put it on ASAP and fire. By the way, can I sight it in during the break in process after getting it boresighted? |

I use Warne rings on my TIkka. THey are made of steel and are not exactly lightweight, but they will probably outlive me. Tough and well made rings.

this past friday I installed a set of Talleys on my Tikka T3 hunter 270 WSM, topped off with a Sightron SII 3.5-20x50. I used Winchester silver tips 130gr and with only 5 shots fired the last 3 were Sub MOA.
I love talley one piece rings. I only had to lap for about 5-8 mins and the alignment bars looked great. |

Thanks for the feedback. I really had no choice because Sportsman wharehouse only had Warne rings, after an extensive search in the store. Oh boy, I do love them. They look great and they seem very sturdy.
Thanks again guys. |

I had stripped torx screw heads a use Tikka I just bought. It took some careful jiggling and fussing to get them off. SWH didn't have screws. So I replaced the rings. I got the Weaver, steel rings disigned for the Tikka. They're a little zany to get on, and they're heavy. But fit great.
