I just bought a Tikka Varmint in .308. My Leupold scope touches the barrel when I use the Tikka rings.

Any recommendations for rings and base with this model?

Thx.

Great Rifle. The rings that come with it are junk.....immediately trash them. For a good buy, and good performance, look at EGW's picatinny base. For "best grade", but with a steeper price tag, check out a NEAR base from Richard Near in Canada.

With these bases, use whatever picatinny rings you would like. Last Tikka T3 Varmint[ happened to be a .308] I set up for a friend we used EGW's rings and base, and it has performed great.
