Help finding correct screw size to mount scope base on action for a tikka t3

[weedman13]

Hey does anybody know what size screw to use to mount a scope base on a 22-250 tikka t3 lite???

I been screwing around for awhile trying to determine what size screws to mount my scope base to the action. I have tried both 6-48 and in metric 3.5mm but neither seem to be able to screw down all the way. Im not sure if there are different thread patterns or not?

Am I using the right screws or not? I dont want to ruin any threads by trying to tighten them down and realizing im using the wrong screws.

Help would greatly be appreciated, thanks.

I'm certainly no expert and new to the forum as well, but scope bases are cheap so I would probably just go out and buy new bases, but that's just me,I generally take the easy way out.
good luck

It is 6/48 no other size look for some other issue.
