scout Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) Hi, Been shooting for years but always with out of the box kit. I'm thinking of getting a second RF ( probably Tikka T1X ) with a dedicated night set up, variation is currently in. On reading lots of reviews many seem to add a Picatinny Rail. This might sound like a daft question, but why would you add this? What advantages does it give you over tradition scope mounts? cheers Damean Edited March 5, 2021 by scout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
243deer Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 with a good rail and qr mounts you can swap between day and night scopes but for a dedicated nv setup I see no advantage. I have a photon in ordinary mounts straight on to the rail of my cz452 and it has stayed fine for 5 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 Depending on your night sight a picatinny rail may be your only mounting option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.C Posted March 6, 2021 Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) I have them and qr mounts so I can remove the scope for storage. Edited March 6, 2021 by Mr.C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
