New ultralight

[smittysmith2]

Welp it’s not my first knight but it is my first with a bolt handle. Well from the looks of it I’m glad I got a good sale on it because it doesn’t look like a thousand dollar gun. Any how’s I can already see that the primer pocket needs to be shimmed I will use the factory plug till it’s shot out hopefully a few hundred shots the get one with removable vent liners. Anyway I wanted to keep it lite so I ordered a set of the tally lightweight two pice bases and rings with them I figured I will have my room for my fat fingers. I’m wondering if anyone else went with them bases and rings and if so if they bedded them and if so how??? I never done it with two pice bases

I love Talley 2 piece rings/bases. Never had to bed them. Use blue locktight on the base screws, tighten to specified inch pounds. Never had a problem with them either…

I use them on many guns including my ultra light.I know they say no need to lap them, but I lap them anyway, never a problem with them.sorry you don’t feel like the gun is worth a thousand bucks, I think it’s worth that in today’s market. that’s three trips to Costco , my ul shoots amazing and carries just as well

I have the Talley 2pc bases on my "mountain rifle"(Tikka T3 ultralight 300WM). I red thread locked them on. They're never coming off. Neither is the Zeiss in the rings! Love that rifle!

I’m not worried about them come off I’m worried about making them square

I just think they’re a few corners that they cut that they can afford not to. But I’m sure it’s gonna be a good one. Can’t wait to start playing I just never bedded a two pice base
