    Rifle Scopes Tikka T3 Lite > lightweight scope mounting options?

    This Talley video shows: - Feet pointing outward: http://tinyurl.com/ojgsemp - Both feet forward: http://tinyurl.com/khhn9eg - Feet pointing inward: http://tinyurl.com/kqmlksb So doesn't seem to matter, just personal preference or to make the mount wider (feet inward), smaller (feet...

    So does the foot of the Talley base point toward muzzle or butt? Talley manual says nothing. This guy has the foot pointing to the butt: http://tinyurl.com/lq6dyls This guy has the foot pointing to the muzzle: http://tinyurl.com/m7sumof

    Get the plug screws out by screwing them all the way in (after removing the bolt) and the little plastic plug screws fall into the chamber. Weird. Whatever.

    Also the ring base is a bit wider than the rail, is that ok? (I thought it would be flush)

    Rifle Scopes Tikka T3 Lite > lightweight scope mounting options?

    Do I screw the Talley rings in where these plug screws are? I tried unscrewing the plug screws... And they start unscrewing and coming out... But instead of screwing all the way out, they just spin and spin... I tried to lift them out with my fingernails but they're really in there. I must be...

    Rifle Scopes Tikka T3 Lite > lightweight scope mounting options?

    Thanks Downlow! I'll be taking the Talley LW's & scope to a rifle smith for mounting because I just have no idea how to do it like: Do I need to bore sight it? w/laser bore sight? Don't want to buy one for single use - can I rent one? Sheesh. Is there a "Rifles for Dummies" for those of...

    I got the Talley's on Optics Planet for $39.77 w/free shipping. Cheap at twice the price! Will post picture. Can't thank you all enough, thanks so much.

    Wow, cool picture!

    Awesome, thanks so much. Anything else you'd recommend? Good ammo? (Target species is California mule deer.) I should probably start a new thread for this. The Warne rings look good but I think they're made from steel so looking to stay lightweight.

    .270 Win. Do the included rings mount to the dovetail directly? You think they'll fit my 1" scope tube? LOL, I'm such a newbie, I have no idea what's in the box!

    Called Talley and tech said Leupold VX-3L scope would still clear with the low (1/2 inch) rings so getting those. He suggested buying at Midway. Going this route unless anyone has other thoughts? Thanks, Geoff PS. Will post picture in a few weeks (My California 10-day waiting period for...

    Rifle Scopes Tikka T3 Lite > lightweight scope mounting options?

    The Talley Lightweight Scope Mount looks good - 7000 series aluminium should be lightweight! Found a picture of the setup here. Is the DNZ Game Reaper mount maybe a bit heavier than Talley? Looks like maybe a bit more metal (link)? This guy had problems w/DNZ lining up properly - should I...

    Ok either this or this heavy duty Evolution Gun Works base look nifty. But it adds weight to convert from dovetail to Picatinny, right? What do you think about mounting directly to the dovetail?

    Rifle Scopes Tikka T3 Lite > lightweight scope mounting options?

    Want to keep the weight down - How would you mount a Leopold VX-3L 1" on a 17mm dovetail rail? I don't have rings or base yet so I'm totally open to suggestions. Spuhr? NEAR? Thanks, Geoff PS. This is my first rifle ever, I'm totally green.
