MPA BA Mount for Rem 700 & Tikka T3x

[RSS6.5]

Need some help picking the correct MPA BA Bolt Action Mount for the gear listed below.
Tikka T3x 6.5 Creed
Remington 700 .308
MDT 20 MOA bases (both rifles)
Vortex Viper PST Gen II 5-25 x 50
It 's not ideal but the scope will be switched between both guns until I am able to purchase another scope. The guns will be used to shoot out to 1000 yards.
So I am needing some advice on the mount height which will work on both guns. Like I said, the bases will have the cant so I'm thinking a 0 MOA base.

Which T3X?

Which T3X?

CTR stainless with 24" threaded barrel. It's sitting in a MDT XRS stock

I’d get the 1.125” height. With the 50mm objective it will be more than high enough to be off the barrel and a good height for comfort behind scope. You could go 1.250” if you wanted too.

Thanks Rob01
I have the 1.125 in my cart but wasn't quite sure. It's always good to get a 2nd opinion.

 

[Rob01]

This is the 1.125” but with 34mm and a 56mm scope and a 40 moa base and 1.2” straight barrel and I have room so you should be fine.

What distances are you shooting?

What distances are you shooting?

That’s my .22 and I shoot it out to around 450 yards in matches.

450 yd 22 lr?

 

[Rob01]

450 yd 22 lr?

Yup. It’s pretty challenging.

 

[RSS6.5]

Yup. It’s pretty challenging.

I'm impressed. Several years ago I shot .22lr at 50 yds/meters. That was a challenge to shoot 250 25x. My gun platform was built off a Turbo action.
What's the setup of that rig you have pictured, if you don't mind sharing?

I'm more interested in what ammo he liked for the 450 yard stuff. I got a 250 yard know your limits with the 22lr coming up in 2 weeks...

Actually a lot of shooters hitting to 400+ now with the .22s accuracy helps but wind reading is key at those ranges.

That rifle is:
Vudoo V22 action
Bartlein 23” 1.2” barrel with EC V2 tuner
Timney Calvin Elite trigger
MPA Matrix Pro chassis
MPA mount
Zeiss S3 6-36x56

I use SK Long Range ammo in it but also use Center X at times. I have a brick of the Lapua Long Range I need to try.

 

[Cody S]

thanks, I've got small boxes ordered of the sk long range, lapua super long range and eley ultra extreme super duper long range to try out and see what works best for my cheapo 22 at 250 yards.
eta I know nothing so obviously I'm using sk standard plus this time around lol.

 

[Rob01]

I really like the SK Long Range. I have shot thousands of it and it does really good at longer ranges. Also doesn’t break the bank which is nice.

Initially I had been using the 1.125 high BA mounts, but switched to the 1.25 high BA mounts because I can keep my head straighter while shooting. I realize it's not a Tikka...
