Tikka T3 question
Had a request today to try and find a steel bridge mount for a Tikka T3 222, no interest in pickatinny rail type set up. Anyone know if something is available ? Could you also give me the dovetail measurements of one of them, widest and narrowest would be good. Thanks

Re: Tikka T3 question
Dovetail is narrow much like the brno dovetail and why I'm using pickatinny/weaver style rail.

Dovetail quick and rough.
About 15 mm at the narrow part in the bottom of the grooves and 16.5 mm at the wide part at the top of the dovetail.

Let me have a look in the parts box tonight - I reckon I picked up a Hillver type bridge mount that might be the right size.Camel wrote: ↑Mon Sep 18, 2017 8:06 pm Had a request today to try and find a steel bridge mount for a Tikka T3 222, no interest in pickatinny rail type set up.

Thanks Marcus, that is the type I was hoping to get. I still havent got my hands on the rifle to see what is needed, it will have to wait till after this weekend.Branxhunter wrote: ↑Tue Sep 19, 2017 6:14 pmLet me have a look in the parts box tonight - I reckon I picked up a Hillver type bridge mount that might be the right size.Camel wrote: ↑Mon Sep 18, 2017 8:06 pm Had a request today to try and find a steel bridge mount for a Tikka T3 222, no interest in pickatinny rail type set up.

Re: Tikka T3 question
Ummmmmm, there's nothing to bridge on a T3 as it has a solid top.

That one looks like an old Hilliver Tikka 55 mount
The Tikka 55 action is a bit shorter than a T3.. but it may fit ok.

Re: Tikka T3 question
So that means the dovetail is a seperate piece that screws onto the top of the action ??kickinback wrote: ↑Tue Sep 19, 2017 7:01 pm Ummmmmm, there's nothing to bridge on a T3 as it has a solid top.

That is what I was thinking.

JMO but why not just get a DNZ Gamereaper, those things look good and work a treat (yes, allum not steel though)?

Dovetail is milled in, not screwed on. The action is also drilled and tapped.
