Talley rings help

**MPR** · 28-03-2024, 04:14 PM

Thanks for the input lads, I popped into reloaders today and seen David. He popped a vx5 with a 44m objective onto some talley low and xtra low rings for comparison.

Pics attached for those interested.

I ended up going xtra lows which would actually also fit a 50mm objective fyi. Name: IMG_5616.jpg

That's interesting. I bet a lot of people have scopes that are mounted too high for a Tikka stock.

I mounted an older scope on a new rifle today and it became apparent that the length of the scope, or at least the tube is an important factor in getting clearance from Talley rings. Just about got away with it

Somthing I didn’t take into account was the suppressor

using super low rings without using one would be perfect however it my situation it makes the bottom of the objective sit lower than the top of the suppressor which means I see the suppressor through the scope on low power which I don’t like, even on higher power it shows a blur.

Can you just swap the x-lows out for lows? Good looking rig

"Don't Panic Mr Mainwaring". When I first set up my bush gun, I was surprised to see my suppressor in the scope. You get used to it and it doesn't cause any practical issues.

The same using low power scopes you see the barrel.

It's not something you even really notice in "real world" use

Just for reference. Tikka T3X 16" barrel, DPT suppressor, VX2 3-9x33 scope, Talley Extra Low rings. Cannot see suppressor in scope.

@MPR what did you decide?

I swapped the rings and just went straight to medium. It’s a much better fit. On 2 power I can just see the suppressor a little . On 3 I cannot see it.
