I'm seeing so many different mounting options for these including the DNZ which I really liked on my Marlin. My question, does anyone mount their rings directly to the grooves in the reciver? Pros and cons? TIA.
 
I really like my sako mounts with opti-lock rings. They are rock solid, don't look as bulky as some pic mounts. Although, the pic mounts can add massive amounts of adjustment if your looking to touch something at a great distance.Mount.jpg
 
I've used Masi, leupold qd's, rails, weavers etc.
Never had an issue with any of them.
Masi is ok, over priced imo.
Rails are fine if mounting is tricky due to scope dimension or you're going with a canted rail.
I like the tikka specific leupolds for weight and versatility. They have the lug to center them.

Personal preference and purpose are what you should base your decision on.
 
Leupold Makes the Backcountry direct mount for the Tikka which in my opinion is about as good as it get without going the pic rail route. A little beefier that the Talley offering, but I think they are better built and a lot stronger. Used them lots of times and they always fit like a glove.

I had them on my Tikka T3x mounted once and they held zero for years

Can be very easy to overspend. I bought a Near mount once… was a work of art, but sure wasn’t cheap.

Picatinny is the current gold standard, so if you have thoughts of scope swapping, etc, I’d do that. If this is one-and-done, go with the groove mounts.

Mountain tactical is a great source for tikka bits.

A video by MT was why I posed the Q. I mounted a scope to my son's T3 dovetails direct 6 years ago when we bought it, works great but the boss of MT who is an obvious Tikka guru, poo-poohed the system. It must be because his company makes and sells Pic rails and mounts for the Tikkas , I'm thinking.
 
There's Sako 1 pc rings that are mounted directly to the action without the need for a base, called ring base or ring mounts. Newer Tikka rifles have a 17mm dove atop the action. ai have them on a Sako 7mm RM and they seem solid enough
