source for talley lightweight extra low 1" rings for Tikka T3?

[Cbf123]

Anyone know of a good place to get these rings? Cabela's only has "low". Prophet River has the extra-lows, but they're more expensive than Cabela's to start with, and another $15 for shipping.

We could sell them for $5.00 less too if we chose to only carry a few of the most common ones. Also, currently there is a no tax sale on and you can get free shipping too if the total order is 200.00 or more.

Appreciate the orders, its crazy how many of these we sell, Several dozen sets a week. Almost everything they make is in stock almost all the time, its a lot of inventory!

Hmm, may have to check your ammo prices...Wait, free shipping only good for Canada Post. Too bad. Ah well, will probably end up picking up the rings at some point anyway.

Since the tikka rings sit on the top of the receiver, it is very simple to turn a set of lows into extra low.

Brazilian jungle Canada often has Talley's.

In theory...But doing it to high tolerance to keep the scope parallel to the barrel is not trivial.

Not even worth considering to save $5, or $10.

The set I had was within .004" when I got them and within .0015" when I finished, so I would consider that I got the height I wanted and improved the tolerances.

Also, are you guys lapping your talleys? I have a precision shaft in 1" and 30mm that I use instead of lapping. I loctite the rear base making sure the bases seem centred on the screws, after the loctite dries, I clamp the shaft on the rear ring and start both screws in the front ring. Then I clamp the shaft into both rings so I can access 1 screw on the front ring. Then I loctite the 1 screw. After that dries, I loctite the last screw with the shaft removed.
