Rifle Scopes Tikka t3x/spuhr mount

[Blackcoyote]

Whats up guys I have a tikka t3x with the varmint barrel, I want to do a direct mount spuhr with a gen 2 razor 4.5-27. What height should I go with, 1.73" or 1.38"? I want to do 24 MOA mount as the ewg rail I currently have is 20 moa.

I have the same set up. The 1.73 is just a little high. Get the 1.38 so you don’t have to get a cheek riser unless you want one.

What optic are you running?

Is that mounted to picatinny rail?

20 moa Zermatt TL3 or RimX rails

why do you want to go direct mount? not exactly the most useful down the road for switching setups and def not for weight savings like is typical for direct mount in hunting scenarios

I figured it would be more durable, and I could check the torque on the base, I couldn't do that with the scope mounted on this egw rail. An instructor at this fieldcraft course told us he checks torque on everything every 100 rounds or so

I am kind of thinking of just getting more ultralite rings. I dont want to have to mill the ejection port

that's a little excessive

not sure where you could make an argument for more durable.

you already have a high quality rail. get a regular spuhr and you'll be fine. you can move it around to other rifles etc

mill ejection port? why?

 

[Blackcoyote]

I read here on the hide that you have to take 1/10" off the bottom of ejection port to run the direct mount spuhr

Just use loctite on the base screws, there are hundreds of thousands of rifles in use with picatinny rails that don't come loose.

That's only on older T3 models (not T3X). The T3X has a larger ejection port from factory.
