MDT Picatinny Scope Base, Tikka T3X, 20 MOA

• 20 MOA incline: Adds built-in elevation to the mounting platform, helping preserve more of the riflescope’s internal adjustment for longer distances.
• 6061-T6 aluminum construction: Keeps the base light while providing the rigidity needed for a stable optic interface on a hard-used hunting or precision rifle.
• MIL-STD-1913 and STANAG 4694 profile: Gives broad compatibility with Picatinny scope rings and mounts, making optic setup simpler across different riflescope configurations.
• Receiver-matched underside profile: Sits flush on the action and follows the ejection-port geometry, which supports a secure fit and clean installation.
• Hard-anodized black finish: Improves surface durability and corrosion resistance, so the rail stands up better to repeated mounting, weather exposure, and field handling.

About the MDT Picatinny Bases Series

MDT Picatinny Bases are the company’s general-purpose optic mounting rails for bolt-action rifles, positioned as a practical solution for shooters who need a rigid, repeatable interface between rifle and scope. The series is offered in 20, 30, 40, and 50 MOA variants, allowing the mounting system to be matched to anything from everyday hunting rifles to dedicated long-range builds. Across the range, the bases are CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished with Mil-Spec Type II hard anodizing, combining low weight with the durability expected from a rifle component that is repeatedly loaded, transported, and reconfigured.

The rails conform to MIL-STD-1913 and STANAG 4694 dimensions, so they work with a wide variety of Picatinny-compatible rings and mounts. MDT also shapes the underside to sit flush on the receiver and to follow the ejection-port geometry, which helps produce a cleaner fit on compatible actions. On models where the action design allows it, an integrated recoil lug adds another layer of resistance against movement under recoil. In practical use, the series is aimed at hunting, competition, long-range, and general shooting, with the inclined rail options giving shooters more flexibility when pairing modern optics with rifles that may be used well beyond normal zero distances.

About the MDT Picatinny Scope Base, Tikka T3X, 20 MOA

The MDT Picatinny Scope Base, Tikka T3X, 20 MOA is built for shooters who want a straightforward way to mount a riflescope on a Tikka T3 or T3x action while gaining additional elevation for longer-range work. The defining feature is the 20 MOA cant, which angles the scope slightly downward relative to the bore. In practice, that gives the optic more usable upward adjustment, which is especially helpful when a hunting or precision rifle is expected to stretch beyond standard zero distances without forcing the scope to operate near the end of its internal travel.

This base uses a Picatinny rail interface made to MIL-STD-1913 and STANAG 4694 dimensions, so it accepts a broad range of rings and mounts. That makes it easier to choose ring height, scope position, and optic type without being tied to a proprietary mounting pattern. The rail is machined from aluminum, keeping weight under control while still providing the stiffness needed for consistent scope alignment. Its black hard-anodized finish adds wear resistance where rings clamp and where the rifle sees regular handling in the field or on the range.

MDT also profiles the underside of the base to sit flush on the receiver and match the action geometry more closely. That matters because a well-mated base supports a more secure installation and reduces the chance of fit-related stress during mounting. At 168.00 mm in length, the rail provides useful mounting space for positioning modern riflescopes correctly on a Tikka action, whether the rifle is set up for hunting optics or a more dial-focused long-range scope.

About MDT

MDT Sporting Goods was established in 2009 and began in Chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada. The company focuses on rifle equipment for target shooting and hunting, with a product range that includes chassis systems, magazines, buttstocks, bipods, scope bases, and scope rings. MDT identifies the TAC21 as its first chassis, and its later products have continued to reflect a strong emphasis on practical rifle ergonomics and modularity.

The company develops its chassis, magazines, and accessories with input from competitive precision shooters, which helps explain the functional, fit-focused design seen across its mounting products. In the scope-mounting category, MDT states that its bases are CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and made to MIL-STD-1913 and STANAG 4694 specifications. That background makes MDT particularly relevant to shooters building rifles for repeatable optic alignment, adaptable setup options, and dependable field or match use.
