Optilock or picatinny?

[GGC96]

So I’ve just bought a Tikka T3x Roughtech in 243.

I’ve always mounted my scopes using the tried and tested picatinny system. However, some people have been suggesting using Optilock … what’s everyone’s thoughts?

Neither. Use as little parts as possible.

This goes straight onto the Tikka internal rail.

Spuhr Hunting one piece mount.

Another one who doesn't acknowledge that one piece Optilock Ringmounts exist!

Think they're hard to come by these days ? They are very good though, never an issue when I had them on my 308.

Until now I wasn't even aware of the claim that they exist. Do you have a picture?

They exist alright (you can even fit the Sako TRG mount pictured below) but the Spuhr are better in every way (cheaper too!).
