I just purchased a Tikka T3 Lite (270 WSM) and a Bushnell Elite scoop and I'm wondering how good the rings and bases are that come with the Tikka. Any body have any thoughts? I'd appreciate any input.

Never seen rings come witht the rifle....only in the USA, unless you bought it from Clay at Prophet River. I personally used Tikka Optilock rings and bases on my T3's. (both 270WSM's)

Great purchase on rifle and caliber. 140gr Accubonds are my medicine!!!
 
Perhaps this is my mistake. I ordered the rifle and scoop but have not received them yet, but assumed they came with the Tikka Optilock rings and bases because they are shown in the downloadable owners manual from the Tikka website. In that case any suggestions on good rings and bases and good prices would be appreciated. I found some Sako Optilock rings and bases on the WSS website (a little pricey). I assume these would be the same as Tikka ones since I found no specific Tikka brand rings or bases.
 
Same Tikka / Sako Optilocks....yes more $$ but I prefer them. No issues and I have had my Sako m75ss 300WM with Leupold scope since 1997 and never lost a setting after some tough hunts and a couple falls/slips.

Talleys would be my next choice.

As mentioned, Tikka in Canada did not provide rings as the USA suppliers did.....plus they were garbage anyhow.
 
Talley lightweights are sweet. I have a set of 1" med Talleys I'm looking to get rid of. I switched to 30mm. PM me if interested
