Guest Phaseolus (BeanMan) Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 I've recently purchased a Tikka T3 in 3006. In comes with it's own rings and scope mounts. I have been out shooting twice and I can't keep the back mount from creeping forward on the rails. I've tightened it as much as I dare. I am thinking of purchasing some after market rings to fix this problem and am open to all suggestions. Am I doing something wrong or should I buy new mounts? Thanks, Beanman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OJR Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Re: Tikka Scope mounting Trouble I would try to get ahold of Beretta and have them send you a new set of rings! They own Tikka. If they won't do that, go buy a set. I have 2 Tikka's and haven't had any problem with either one of them! Especially the rings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Colorado Bob Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Re: Tikka Scope mounting Trouble ??----Didn't have a bit of a problem with my Tikka. If push comes to shove & you can't find a set of rings---I'll take mine off & Fed X them up to you. Mine is a whitetail series--Tikka---mounts are medium. It's an out if you need it. A man has got to go elk hunting!!! CB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if you can or not, but it would be worth a try until you can get it squared away with the factory! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phaseolus (BeanMan) Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Re: Tikka Scope mounting Trouble CB, that's a really kind offer, I've still got my old Ruger M77 as a back up plan. I really want to use the new one. T Thanks for all your help. Bean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are not and its caused by some other problem, you can ruin the scope by installing shims under the bases when they are not needed. I would relace the bases with a quality set from Warne.
