Tikka T3 Lite Scope Base Recommendations

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Tikka T3 Lite Scope Base Recommendations

I'm looking for a 1 piece scope base that will fit a Tikka T3 Lite. I don't trust the built in scope rail that's currently on top. I would prefer a weaver style but it doesn't have to be. Are there any recommendations out there?

6 months and no problems with factory rail on my Tikka T3..but...Badger Ordnance makes several types of rails, none specifically for Tikka's, that could be drilled and tapped on your receiver...maybe check out which one would fit the best...here's a link to Badger

You could get some Warne bases and then use Weaver type rings. I have my Tikka 595 (Whitetail Hunter) in 7mm Rem set up that way. The Warne bases and Millett Angle-Loc rings.

But I'm using the Tikka ring/mounts that came with my T3 Lite that's chambered in 300 Win.

hope this helps.

The groved receiver has been fine for me also, although the factory aluminum rings moved on me...they suck. I replaced them with a pair of older factory Tikka steel rings. They have been great.

I know this doesn't answer your question, but the different ring option may take care of you.
