The Tikka S1300929 Opti-Lock Rings deliver precision scope mounting for hunters and competitive shooters demanding reliable zero retention. These 30mm low-profile rings feature Tikka's proprietary locking mechanism that eliminates scope movement under heavy recoil.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional scope rings that rely solely on clamping force, the Opti-Lock system incorporates dual opposing screws that create a mechanical lock around the scope tube. This design distributes mounting stress evenly across the scope body, preventing the tube deformation common with over-tightened standard rings. The low profile positions scopes closer to the bore axis for improved sight picture and reduced parallax error.
Key Features
- Proprietary Opti-Lock dual-screw system prevents scope slippage
- 30mm tube diameter accommodates premium European optics
- Low profile design reduces scope height for better cheek weld
- Matte black anodized finish resists corrosion and glare
- Precision-machined aluminum construction for lightweight durability
- Compatible with standard Picatinny and Weaver rail systems
- Torque specifications eliminate guesswork during installation
Field testing demonstrates the Opti-Lock system maintains zero through thousands of rounds across various calibers. The rings handle magnum recoil impulses without scope migration, making them suitable for dangerous game hunting and precision rifle competition. Weather sealing prevents moisture intrusion that could compromise the locking mechanism's effectiveness.
