Thread: Tikka ring recommendations

I’ve only ever used the tikka rings on my .223 & .284 with no issues.

The only thing I would recommend is replace the aluminium screws with stainless ones which can be bought from Gunworks.

As others have said talleys are good as I gave a set of them on a kimber.

Optilocks are heavy & pricey!

Yep, i replaced the screws with the gunworks ones. Sounds like Tally is the way to go so far.

Yep talleys are the business, they hold up fine on my rem mag so id be happy using them with any cal. Failing getting some of those, the sportsmatch tikka rings are great, anesthetics are similar to the standard tikka rings but are awesome, very rigid, and attach to the factory dovetail too

Talleys and Optilocks are both good, but I prefer Optilocks of the two. Yes, they cost more and are heavier, but they are very strong and solid. The plastic insert clamps down and grips a scope without marking it too, which is another benefit.

For me, good rings are critical as they are the link between rifle and scope. There’s no point having a nice accurate rifle and a good scope if the interface is of inferior quality.
