Does this base have the front locking pin protruding or is it smooth with only screws to interface the receiver? Underside product picture?

Manufacturer Answer
A
Answered by NightForce, Manufacturer from GA, United States, on June 02, 2021

No, the base does not have any locking pin or recoil lug. An underside photo can be seen here, https://www.nightforceoptics.com/riflescopes/accessories/bases and scroll down to standard duty bases.

Q
JM, guest, from NC, United States, asked on January 24, 2018

Will it fit a Sako A7 short action ?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Mark H., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on February 16, 2018

Nightforce says

They have different hole spacing's so, the T3 base will not work on the Sako A7. Give Evolution gun works a call 215-538-1012.

Please consider this DNZ product for the short action Sako A7:
https://www.opticsplanet.com/dnz-products-sako-a7-short-action-mount.html

I HIGHLY recommend the DNZ ring/mount combination. I have six of them on my personal rifles. It has a number of things going for it – it
starts as a solid block, and the first CNC machining pass makes

what becomes the ring centers... the rings cannot be misaligned. It also eliminates any possibility of the rings loosening from recoil. It’s hard anodized, requires no lapping, has hex-head screws, and best of all – made in the USA, in North Carolina. I can’t say enough good things about them – they look like they grew out of the top of the gun.

none, guest, from AS, United States, asked on December 26, 2017

Is this base ground for dovetails machined into the top of the receiver and if so wil it fit older sako AV actions?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Ethan C., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on January 11, 2018

This base is for drilled and tapped Tikka T3/T3x rifles. It will not fit on a Sako AV which should have the standard Sako tapered dovetails.

will this fit on the t3x a1

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Matt S., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on December 15, 2017

The T3x A1 has a notch in the receiver rail that the handguard rail fits into, so I do not recommend this mount for the T3x A1
