    It might pay for me to get the rail sussed and hit a shop to try different rings to ensure my scope height is right

    If it's 50 mm with low rings and egw rail it should be ok if it's 40 mm sometimes bit gappy to barrel. Let us know what you want for your rings cash wise when you ready. Talk to Reloaders David will tell you what rings to suit scope plus rail etc he seems to know off by heart

    If not Waitaki Engineering make rails for the tikka and pairs of 30mm leupy pqr rings are easy to find at my place, even some Burris Custom turn ins with 0 and 10moa inserts, if you get the bases to fit, are about somewhere.
    Also checked before I posted
    Have a new pair of Burris 30mm Xtreme Tactical low that should give you enough if you go the 20 moa rail of whose ever manufacture.
    Anyone got the contact details for Waitaki?? Cant find much with mr Google

    What year is it gibo? After 2005 it has a different thread to pre.
    I can't remember which one is which, but think pre '05 has a thread pitch of 0.9mm
    And post '05 had a pitch of 1mm.
    Abe does know. He did mine and it's pre '05
