Tikka T3x TAC A1 With 56mm objective

[rick539]

Looking to get a Tikka T3x Tac A1 as a 1st rifle to start in PRS. Was wanting to put a TT with a 56mm objective on it. Will this size of objective have any clearance problems. Thanks.

Ring height… is what you will need to find you will probably need 1.25 or something I recommend doing the Pennies to determine what height rings you need… if you already have the rifle

I have that Tikka with a Steiner 4-16x56.
Will you have a canted base and/or scope mount? Scope caps?
With 0 cant, clearance is fine. With a 20 MOA mount and Aadmount caps, it’s nearly touching the pic rail on the handguard.

This custom 6.5 PRC is looking for a home. Never fired 2500

You should probably read the rules…… or the banned hammer

I’ve an American Defence QD mount on mine, plenty of clearance

I just mounted a 56mm Athlon Midas Tac scope with sunshade on my Tikka Tac A1. I used high rings which I recommend, especially if you change from the 0 moa stock scope base to a 20 or 30 moa base for longer distance shooting. I used a 30 moa Egw canted scope rail which puts my sunshade very close to the top of the pic rail, like 1/8". Taller is better in my opinion

Tikka T3 Thread

Glad I found this thread. I'm almost done fiddling with my superlite. I'm sitting at 7lbs 15oz with swapped Ti parts and an Ibex stock. Does anyone have any pics of their tikka with an 18" barrel? I have a 24" carbon barrel I want to put on for NRL Hunter but would like to get it closer to 7lbs...

Here’s mine with a Steiner P4XI 4-16 x 56.

Mount is a 20MOA at 1.5in height.

30MOA action rail, 1.5in 0MOA Badger mount, Tangent 5-25x56. Started with a 1.3ish EraTac and it didn't clear

With 0 Cant, you will need 1.45", with 20 MOA, 1.50". Some of the pics are not fair, as the length of the scope is longer.

 

[Conaso]

Agree with longshot2000. If I may add...
I didn't want to fight changing the included picatinny rail, so I'm using a Spuhr ISMS 34mm 6MIL/20MOA (SP-4602) Height 1.5" to mount a Vortex Razor HD Gen II 4.5-27x56. Without the sunshade I can use the Vortex Defender Objective (O-56) 56mm Flip Cap, no issues. With the sunshade it's a very tight fit. Not wanting to affect the scope alignment I remove the flip-cap if I want to use the sunshade.

I'm new to all this so this may seem like a silly question, but what are your thoughts on a cantilever mount compared to the traditional mount? I'll be mounting a Discovery Optics ED-PRS 5-25x 56 and I'm leaning towards a spuhr 20moa in either a SP-4602C or a cantilever SP-4616. ANy advise would be greatly appreciated

@Adamcrofts72 I would buy a cheaper mount and use that extra money to get a better scope honestly. The spuhr is not holding the scope any better than any other quality mount.

Don't be the guy who puts $3000 rims on a $2000 car.

Thanks VS. I hadn’t thought about it like that. That’s a very good point

The American Defense, Recon mounts are solid, can come with built in elevation and are still fairly reasonable in cost for a USA made mount.

You can always sell them later and get some spuhr mounts. Good luck!

 

[Adamcrofts72]

Thanks VS. looks like I’ve got some mounts to research when I get a break. Thanks for the recommendation. I want to work out what style of shooting I enjoy the most and eventually build or buy a more up spec rifle to suit. An expensive scope and mount to suit will be part of that project. So the American defence mounts sound like a better option for this first rifle
