Newbie here.
I recently bought a Tikka T3 in 22-250 and have matched at Zeiss Conquest 6.5-20 x50mm scope (I got a great price on it and the reviews seem ok, so hoping I made a good choice).

I would like some of your insights on an ideal set up. I know it is best to get the scope as low as possible, and give the 50mm objective lens that makes things more challenging. The owners manual in the scope also states ""Special requirements should be met when sighting in the Conquest 6.5 – 20 x 50 MC rifle scope. To be able to use the full range of the elevation adjustment, the rifle scope should be mounted on the rifle at an angle of approx. 20 angular minutes with commercially available mounting systems (correspond to 21 inch/100 yards or 58.4 cm/100 m). "

I was looking at the Optilock system by Sako figuring that it might fit the Tikka best, but I do see there are many other options.

Just wondering if anyone has a similar set-up or can recommend one.

Thanks.
 
I got same rifle and had a 20moa rail from near manufacturing. They have the excat match perfect fit, color, finish and the rail is picatini. Once you have a picatini, the ring options are limitless. I selected the warn mounts in black to match my scope. Sako moints are not compatible with the tikka action. Sako action is in a very slight wedge shape. When inserting the base, it just locks in place by friction, no fastners required for those sako..

Hope this helps, i got awsome performance with this setup..
 
I forgot to add that warn make specially designed ring for the tikka t3 action and they elliminate the need for a rail, but it is not offered in 20moa angle...
 
You probably don't need a +20 MOA rail unless you're planning to really stretch your legs, and that's not the best platform or cartridge for it. Not every rifle or scope will need a sloped rail. But I had a custom built that needed a +40MOA rail in order to zero it where I wanted in the adjustment range. Then again, the rifle is a purpose built 300 WM for long range hunting and shooting. With the original rail it zeroed at +70MOA in the scope. Now with the +40 rail it zeroes at +30MOA which gives me 70 MOA of internal adjustment which leaves all kinds of room for dialing to reach out. If you're not reaching out too far the internal 45MOA of elevation will probably do but it all depends where in the adjustment range the scope zeroes on your rifle. That's the bummer about scopes with limited internal adjustment...you can bottom out a lot easier.

Thanks. Great point as I don't expect much shooting out past 300 yards, particularly here in Ontario.
 
Hi,
Sorry for the confusion about the 20moa rail. I specifies it because near dont make any 0moa rail for the tikka...

My caliber is 300wsm and use it to hut in québec. I really had no issue having it zeroed at 100 yrds with a 30mm tube scope.
