Rifle Scopes Scope Mount/Rings for Long Range Build

[ArtoriosVII]

So I've purchased a Tikka t3x Lite Roughtech and I've ordered a Vortex Viper pst II 5-25x scope for the setup. I now need a scope mount/rings for it and I'm not sure what would be ideal for the setup. This is my first long range build and I'm not sure what would work best. Should I buy the scope rings on Beretta/Tikka's site?

Really any quality mount/rings will work just fine. One thing to consider is the angle if any, of your scope base, and whether you want more from a mount. If you are happy with what you get from your base, then standard rings should be just fine. If you need more elevation, then a mount with some angle built in would be helpful. As an example, if my memory is correct the rail on my AX has 20moa of elevation built in, and I'm running a Spuhr mount with another 20moa built in. This gives more elevation, which is helpful for long-distance shooting as it makes 40moa more elevation available.

Generally Vortex Precision Rings, Seekins, Nightforce, ARC, etc. are all well-regarded rings. Spuhr seems to be the main go-to one-piece mount, though there are other good options as well.

I've generally opted to use a rail on the rifle to mount the rings to, though I imagine direct-mount rings would also be an option.
