oldypigeonpopper Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 Hello, what rail do you have on the Tikka ? Many had to shim or buy adjustable mounts, I have a different mounting unit coming for my CZ455 after trying the above, will try with my XT 4.6, I can let you know if you wish, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
