Which Rings for 50mm Scope on Tikka T3 Tactical

[ccasanova]

Which rings do I need for 50mm Scope on Tikka T3 Tactical with picatinny rail?

 

[cruze5]

i had to buy Seekins Medium rings .87" for a Vortex PST. Lows the bell was touching the barrel. keep in mind this is still very low but not touching. for hunting purposes you may want to go higher

Think the .97 would be better?

I went with .97 Vortex Precision Matched Rings. Fyi, .87 will work if you want the scope to be as low as possible.

Thanks. I picked up some .97s used here. I'm thinking about the SHV 4-14x56 so they should be perfect.

What barrel profile do you have. It matters.

I have a factory Tikka T3 Varmint stainless, with Ken Farrell 30 MOA base, Steiner 3-15x50MM T5Si with Tennebrex scope covers, and mounted in APA .950" standard 34mm rings. I wouldn't go lower than 0.92" with this combination....

I guess the Tactical is the same profile as the Varmint. .97s should work. I'll know soon.

I've got seekins 34mm low rings on my rifle with a heavy varmint contour. Seekins told me low rings will clear a 50mm objective

 

[DynamicAccuracy]

Could always call seekins and they should be able to tell you

My next set of rings will be american rifle co rings

Lance,

Is that an Manners EH1 by chance? If so, did you have to build up the comb at all to get a proper head position for your scope? Looking at a similar set up, trying to decide if I want the "A" version, especially with the extra cost and weight.

FYI the .97 Vortex/Seekins rings worked great with a S&B 8x56 Scope.

With room to spare? I was told the lows will clear 56 mm scopes.

Farrel bases are higher than most, I had 24mm ARC rings that worked well 28's with defender caps.

It’s a tight fit, but doesn’t touch with scope cover on. I’ll get pics in a bit.
