Overview
Designed for Tikka T3/T3x rifles, this one-piece cross-slot base provides a straightforward mounting platform for hunters setting up a scoped rifle for the field or range. It accepts both Picatinny- and Weaver-style rings, giving flexibility when pairing optics with an existing setup. The 20 MOA cant helps support longer-range sight-in needs, while the aluminum construction keeps the mount compact at 2.45 ounces. With a 6.7-inch length and 22 in-lb receiver screw torque specification, it is built for a clean, secure installation without unnecessary bulk.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed specifically for Tikka T3/T3x rifles, so it is not a universal base for other platforms.
- Accepts Picatinny- and Weaver-style rings, but ring compatibility still needs to be matched to the rest of the optic setup.
- The 20 MOA setup is intended for a specific mounting purpose, so it may not be the right choice for every hunting or zeroing preference.
- At 6.7 inches long and a one-piece design, fitment should be checked against the rifle and optic spacing before purchase.
