Hi everyone. I have purchased my first rifle that can acceptably take a scope. All my others (C&R war rifles, lever actions) happily use irons.
It is a Tikka T3 Scout CTR in .308 with a built-in Picatinny rail. What I need to buy next, don't know. What are some good rings that would fit this? There seem to be so many available, I'm not sure what to look for. I also need help with a scope. From reading, I believe I want something in the 3x9 range. It will be for target shooting first, perhaps hunting as a distant second sometime in the future. My expected range will not exceed 300 yards. Thank you. |

There are tons of choices. I kind of like TPS rings...they don't cost a fortune and are very well made. Regarding scopes, budget (as already mentioned) info will help with recommendations.

Thanks for the replies. I have a budget of around $500 for the scope. As for rings, whatever works best on a Tikka + Picatinny.
Now, how does one find out if I need low, medium or high rings? Is that a personal "fit" issue? Should I go to a store and try some out? Thanks again. |

Not knowing anything about optics, I ended up purchasing Burris Xtreme tactical rings (medium) and the Zeiss Conquest 3x9-40 scope. I hope it will all work okay.
