25mm rings are suited to classic and modern scopes with 1" tubes, a common standard for both airgun and centrefire optics.
-
The 15mm dovetail base is engineered to match the Tikka dovetail standard – a unique width used on rifles like the T3, T3x, M55, M65, M590, M595, and M695 Magnum.
-
With 22mm from base to ring bottom, this mount gives a ring centre height of 34.7mm – providing excellent clearance for scopes with large objective lenses or scopes fitted with flip-up caps and parallax turrets.
-
As a 2-piece mount, it offers flexibility in scope positioning and is ideal for rifles where bolt clearance, action access, or rail interruption may be factors.
-
The removable arrestor pin is a valuable addition for heavier scopes or magnum calibres, helping to keep your optic firmly in place under recoil.
Usage Suitability:
The HTO81 is purpose-built for Tikka rifles with 15mm dovetail receivers, including:
-
Tikka T3 and T3x
-
M55, M65
-
M590, M595, M695 Magnum

-
Sako 16.5–17mm dovetails
-
CZ, BSA, or other non-Tikka dovetail widths
-
Rifles with drilled/tapped or proprietary scope bases
Calculating Scope to Rifle Clearance:
To estimate fit for your optic:
-
Measure your scope’s objective bell diameter
-
Divide by 2 for the radius
-
Subtract 12.7mm (half of 25mm ring diameter)
-
Result = minimum height from base to ring bottom
-
Mount offers 22mm, giving generous clearance
Example: 60mm bell → 30mm radius
30 – 12.7 = 17.3mm minimum → This mount gives 4.7mm extra clearance
Always check for additional rail height or barrel contours that might affect the final fit.
