The Leupold Standard (STD) 2-piece steel base for the Tikka T3/T3x (Leupold part no. 54447) gives a bolt-action rifle a rugged, repeatable platform for scope rings. It is built from steel in the USA and finished in matte, so it stands up to years of recoil and rough handling. The base carries no built-in cant, which leaves the full elevation range of the scope available for dialing instead of spending travel on a tilt. Leupold rates this model for standard calibers less than .300 Win. Mag. and designs it to pair with its STD rings. For a hunter who wants a proven mounting system on a Tikka, it is a straightforward way to seat a scope correctly.
