Frequently Asked Questions

Does the package contain one ring or a pair?

Despite the use of the singular in the product description, the set includes two optic mounting rings. Product code S1300924 refers to a pair of 25.4 mm Low-height rings.

Do 25 mm and 1″ optic tubes mean the same size?

In practice, the term “25 mm” is often used as a rounded designation for a 1-inch ring, but the exact diameter is 25.4 mm. These rings are specifically designed for a 1″ main tube scope.

Are the rings suitable for a 30 mm main tube scope?

No. A 30 mm main tube is too large for these rings. For such a scope, you need to choose 30 mm Optilock rings in the appropriate height.

Are Optilock bases included in the set?

No. This is a set of rings only. Optilock bases suitable for the rifle model and rail type must be selected separately.

Are the rings compatible with the base S13269738 described in the previous product card?

Yes. S1300924 rings are compatible with traditional two-piece Optilock system bases, including the Tikka and suitable Sako rifle dovetail base S13269738.

Do these rings mount directly to the Tikka T3 or T3x rail?

No. The rings are attached to Optilock bases that are first mounted on the rifle. For direct mounting to the receiver rail, you need to use ringmount rings with a different design.

Are Low rings suitable for a scope with a large objective lens?

Suitability depends on the actual external diameter of the objective housing, base height, barrel profile, and possible scope covers. For scopes with a large objective, Medium or High rings may provide the necessary clearance.

What are the polymer inserts in the rings for?

The polymer inserts help align the scope's main tube in the rings and distribute mounting pressure more evenly. They also reduce direct metal-to-scope contact.

When is the Optilock Tikka T3 Low 25.4 mm the right choice?

This ring set is the right choice if your scope has a 25.4 mm or 1″ main tube, appropriate Optilock bases have been selected for the rifle, and the low mount leaves enough clearance between the objective and the barrel. A lower optic position can make cheek weld more natural and help achieve a more stable shooting position.

Extra Low rings may be suitable for a compact scope with a small objective. For large objective housings, thick protective covers, or a higher barrel profile, consider Medium or High rings. If your scope's main tube is 30 or 34 mm, select a ring set with the corresponding diameter.

Expert recommendation

Do not choose rings based only on the objective size in the scope model name. First, check the main tube diameter—for these rings, it must be exactly 25.4 mm or 1″. Then measure the actual external diameter of the objective housing and consider the height of the base to be used.

Before final tightening, set the scope's eye relief in your usual shooting position. Make sure the objective does not touch the barrel, the bolt handle moves freely, and there is enough space for the magnification ring and scope covers. Tighten the screws gradually and to the torque recommended by the manufacturer. The polymer inserts help protect and align the scope, but overtightening can still damage the optic or mounting screws.

After installing the rings or bases, the rifle should be re-zeroed at a proper shooting range, and the mounting should be checked after the first series of shots.

Low Optilock steel rings for 1″ scopes

The Optilock Tikka T3 Low combines a diameter suitable for 25.4 mm scopes, robust steel construction, and polymer inserts that protect the optic. Together with appropriate Optilock bases for the rifle, they provide a compact and reliable mount for hunting or sport shooting.
