    Yes. Although I have not heard of anyone having issues with the standard Tikka rings supplied.
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.

    Either Tikka Optilocks but Game Reaper are hard to beat. Imported direct from the States. Forum member posted his rifles with them. Convinced me. Quality .

    The Talleys , do they have a locating pin for the Tikka and do they usually line up mint or do you need to lap them , I’m guessing they have screw torque specs with them when buying new ?
