Author Topic: weaver bases for a T3 (Read 560 times)

Hello

I am sure this has been covered already but I am considering buying a Tikka T3 in 300 WSM and was hoping somebody could tell me what weaver bases to use? I could only find info for the Whitetail Hunter. I happen to have two #61 weaver bases and was hoping they would work for the T3. Any help would be appreciated.

All three of my t3 came with rings for 1" up to 42mm scope.

Hi there

For some reason they don't come with the rings in Canada? I am limited to Leupold or weaver mounting systems locally unless I mail order and I would prefer Weaver anyway. I don't really like the price involved with the Opti-lock system.

Thanks

McRae

Get the Talley lightweight ringmounts----$35(US)---my buddy has these on his .300 T3----they hold tight with no issues so far.

Sir I have a T-3 in a 6.5-55 and used the rings that came with it for a 3-9. The gun smith told me the rings work well up to 300 Mag. and then they might be a little light. If that is true I don't know just passing it along. By the way I think the Tikka's are awesome!!!!!!!!! Buckfever

Just in case anybody else was wondering the new Tikka T3's use weaver #61 bases same as the Whitetail Hunters
