The EGW Tikka T3 scope base brings modern Picatinny rail convenience to your Tikka T3 receiver without requiring any gunsmithing. This one-piece aluminum mount installs directly into your rifle's factory scope mount holes—no drilling, no tapping, just straightforward setup. Once mounted, you've got a full-length Picatinny rail that accepts any standard Picatinny or Weaver scope rings, giving you the flexibility to dial in your eye relief precisely and swap optics without starting over on your mounting solution.
Built from extruded 6061 T6 aluminum and precision-machined to MIL-STD 1913 specifications (±.002"), the EGW Tikka T3 base is rigid enough for serious hunting and precision shooting. The 20 MOA elevation built into this base is designed for shooters running longer-range setups, allowing your scope to dial in shots at distance while keeping the reticle centered in the tube at typical hunting distances. If you're setting up a Tikka for long-range hunting or competition, this cant pays real dividends in usable elevation adjustment.
The tactical variant features a milled center channel that shaves weight without sacrificing strength—a small touch that matters on backcountry hunts. EGW includes socket head Torx screws and the wrench you'll need for installation. The company recommends 20 inch-pounds of torque and a small drop of blue Loctite during assembly to keep everything locked in place.
