tikka t3 dovetail dimensions

[bmacconaghy]

Can someone tell me the dimensions of the tikka t3 action dovetail? And am I correct is assuming that they lie parallel to the bore axes? And what is the bolt pattern on top? And what about that alignment pin hole? I'm sure the dovetail is some kind of standard dimension, but my google-fu isn't quite strong enough to pull this information right now. I've got a tikka ctr on order, and I'd like to model some ideas I have for a scope mount that incorporates the screws on top as well as the dovetail groves for improved stability. It's just for fun, so there's no need to tell me there are already a huge selection of mounts and blah, blah, blah... If you have the info, thank you.

The dovetail is 16.5mm or .650" wide at the top. I can't help much on the angle or the hole spacing though. Contact Hakan Spuhr and he may tell you. Good luck,
Justin

Thanks for the information, Massoud.

The dovetails are a wedge design. These guys sell a nice picatinny rail for the t3 that uses the four mounting screws and a lug. It is well made and bomber secure.
