Overview
Built for a Tikka T3/T3x, this one-piece cross-slot base provides a solid mounting platform for hunters and shooters who want a straightforward scope setup. It accepts both Picatinny- and Weaver-style rings, giving you flexibility when pairing optics and rings. The 7075-T6 aluminum construction keeps the mount light while maintaining a rugged profile, and the 6.7-inch length supports a clean, streamlined fit on the rifle.

- It is a one-piece base with no base cant, which may limit setup options for shooters who need built-in elevation adjustment.
- It accepts Picatinny- and Weaver-style rings, but ring selection still needs to match your scope tube and mounting preference.
- At 2.45 oz and 6.7 in. long, it adds a small amount of weight and length to the rifle compared with a bare receiver.
