What are the best rings to mount this scope on a tikka t3 ace game weight rifle is the unmount a good option if so what size Manufacturer Answer

You can certainly use the Unimount on this rifle. Some users won't like how high it sets the optic. With the adjustable cheek piece it would be easy to use. If you went with traditional rings, I would recommend 1.125" in height.

Helpful Positive Review Excellent Long Range Scope by BD Vaughn, June 3, 2017
Purchased the SHV 5-20x56 six months ago and mounted it on a custom built .308 Remington 700 action. After the barrel break in, the gun shot better than expected (1/2 moa at 200yds). Highly recommend this scope and NightForce as a company!
