How to Install a Mountain Tactical Tikka T3/T3x Raptor Mount

[@johnstewart2011]

I don’t have a rifle that would use your mount, but I would certainly use yours if I did. And your clear, no-nonsense presentation could serve as an example of other “how to” instructional videos.

Thank you for the feedback!

Is the raptor mount only available in the black annodized finish? Same story for the t3x picatinny rails? Looking to match the finish (or close to it) of the satin stainless steel on many of the t3x models... Apologies if I simply overlooked those options on your website but from what I can see currently there is nothing available. If so, are there any plans to make either products available in satin stainless steel or a finish that matches the look?

[@mountaintacticalcompany]

We stopped making those because there was no way to get a 100% match because of the dissimilar metals and enough guys complained we decided it wasn’t worth the trouble anymore.

[@PreachedRook63]

@mountaintacticalcompany I understand. Thanks for the quick response. I suppose I'll just embrace the contrast of the black mount and look for a stainless scope. Unless you happen to have any tucked away you'd sell me... :)

[@mountaintacticalcompany]

If I did I would! Cerakote is the best option. That’s what we ended up doing with all the “raw” looking parts we had. A good Cerakote applicator can make the entire rifle a uniform color for you

[@PreachedRook63]

@@mountaintacticalcompany Thanks for the advice... Just love the "raw" look of the stainless so much. I think I'll try getting at least a raptor mount and billet bottom metal from you and see about having everything cerakote'd. While I'm at it I can see about the bolt handle as I hate the black bottom on the bolt handle that Tikka puts on the t3x lite roughtech. Wish they would have made it one piece or at least a similar color tone like the regular sized stainless bolt handles on the superlites. Anyways thanks again, I suppose it's all about the "journey" with aftermarket customization.

[@mountaintacticalcompany]

You put it best with the term “journey”. Enjoy making your rifle yours!

Are you going to make a 34mm tube raptor mount?

[@mountaintacticalcompany]

We have one designed but it needs to be tested before we launch it. 34mm tube optics are much heavier than 30mm optics.

[@Hammer.Paladin]

I use a 34MM system and am looking forward to when you come out with yours. I love the design and will be one of your first customers for that when they come out. Hopefully they will be extra high to clear a custom build of mine with a 1" Carbon barrel. Great video. Thank you.

Do you recommend loctite on these screws?

[@mountaintacticalcompany]

We don’t loctite our screws, but many of our customers do.

@@mountaintacticalcompany Please make QD version.

[@mountaintacticalcompany]

No need! Just add an M-Lok QD module. That’s the beauty of making these M-Lok compatible. They are virtually infinitely customizable.

[@praprotnikphilippe6640]

@@mountaintacticalcompany how do you mount the M-Lok QD module? on the action of the tikka or on the mount? could you make a video of this option?

[@mountaintacticalcompany]

There are hundreds of videos out there already. Just Google QD M-Lok attachment.

Jason do you ship to Australia

[@mountaintacticalcompany]

We can ship some parts to Australia. If you go to our website, don’t use a VPN, and you’ll see what can legally be shipped to you. If you don’t see what you need, Corlane’s in Canada can ship to Australia easier than we can. Cheers!
