Who makes the best Picatinny rail mount for a Tikka T1X MTR?

I was finally able to score a Left-Hand, Tikka T1X MTR and I was wondering who makes the best Picatinny rail mount for them?

I'm only looking for a 0 MOA rail as I don't plan on shooting it past 100M.

A steel rail would be preferable, but I've only found aluminum ones available.

It really pisses me off that they don't come standard with the gun like they do on the T3X CTR.

You sound like you're trapped in the 50's.

Technology has moved on and some people like to be able to remove a scope from a rifle and have it return to zero when they reinstall it.

Or, they like to be able to use the same rings and mounts for their centerfire and rimfire rifles.

Comparing U.S. or European made rifles is also ridiculous, they are all cheaply made nowadays. I was disappointed to pull my Tikka out of the box and to see how much plastic there is on it and how lame the plastic magazines are.

Will it stack up to my 452's? I doubt it. But it offers a similar platform to my T3X's.

Nobody, and I mean NOBODY makes the perfect rimfire. Only the CZ 452's came close in my opinion, and even they are a PITA because the dovetails are different between the Luxes and Americans. Most rings that work on one rifle will simply not work on the other, and they never seem to sit just right either.

Can you not comprehend how having a proven mounting system that is compatible with every rifle type would be advantageous?

I doubt that you speak for European shooters in regards to their scope mounting preferences. I suspect that they too would prefer a reliable and universal mounting system.

As for worrying about the angle of the mount, that's a ridiculous concern. There are enough one-piece mounting systems with MOA built into them already to meet the needs of anyone requiring more elevation adjustments at long range.

Simply put, your argument just doesn't hold any water.
