Tikka T3 Battue

[quinnjoblow]

Does anyone own a Tikka T3 Battue with the Tru-Glow type inserts in the iron sights? I own one of the older models Battues in .308. Mine doesn't have the inserts.
If someonse could post a few pictures of the new style T3 sights it would help. I could see if it would be hard to swap out the ones I have for the new ones.
I think it would be hard to improve on an already excellent set of open sights. They look odd but work like a dream.
Any info on scoping one of these guns would help. I would like to get a set of Tikka 30mm rings/base but I'm not sure what scope and how high I have to go to clear the rear sight

Thanks for the quick reply Snow Dog. They kind of look a bit goofy. They remind me of the Christmas lights.
I would worry that planes might think it was an airport or something.

I don't like the looks of them either. No doubt they are functional but they are too "space-gun" for me. Best to check them out in person however so poke around some store local to you and see if anyone has a Battue in stock. It looks like a set of medium height rings would be enough to clear the sights but a lot will depend on your choice of scope.
