Not a scope question but optical mounting related so I hope it's appropriate here. I have a long action Tikka in 6.5x5, and want to get 20MOA mount. However, I only see one size mount from several suppliers (e.g. EWG). Does short and long action Tikka use the same mount? Theoretically it's doable - just space the holes in short action more apart I guess. Any one has looked into this?

Thanks
 
Re: Tikka mounting question

Assuming your Tikka is a T3, all actions are the same regardless of cartridge length. Therefore, you don't need to worry about short/long action when ordering the mount as they are all machined the same from Tikka.

Yes, T3. That's exact the answer I am looking for! Thanks
