MDT Picatinny Scope Base, Tikka T3X, 30 MOA

• 30 MOA Inclination: Built-in cant preserves more of a scope’s internal elevation travel, which is especially useful when setting up a rifle for longer-distance shooting.
• Receiver-Specific Fit: The base is shaped for the Tikka T3 and T3x action, helping it sit flush on the receiver for stable alignment and straightforward optic installation.
• 6061-T6 Aluminum Construction: The aluminum body keeps weight down without giving up the rigidity needed for a dependable scope-mounting platform on a working rifle.
• MIL-STD-1913 and STANAG 4694 Rail Profile: The standardized interface gives broad compatibility with Picatinny scope rings and mounts, making optic selection easier.
• Hard-Anodized Finish: The black anodized surface adds wear resistance and helps the base stand up to repeated mounting, field handling, and changing weather conditions.

About the MDT Picatinny Bases Series

MDT Picatinny Bases are built as practical scope-mounting solutions for bolt-action rifles across hunting, competition, long-range, and general shooting use. The series covers a wide range of action footprints and is offered in 20, 30, 40, and 50 MOA variants, allowing the rifle and optic setup to be matched more closely to the intended distance and elevation requirement. Across the range, the design focus is on giving the shooter a solid, repeatable interface between receiver and optic without adding unnecessary bulk.

These bases are CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished with Mil-Spec Type II hard anodizing for low weight and good surface durability. The rails conform to MIL-STD-1913 and STANAG 4694 dimensions, so they work with a broad selection of Picatinny-compatible rings and accessories. MDT also shapes the underside to sit flush on the receiver and follow the ejection-port geometry, which helps with clean fitment and stable support. On actions that allow it, an integrated recoil lug is used to better manage recoil forces through the base rather than relying only on the mounting screws.

About the MDT Picatinny Scope Base, Tikka T3X, 30 MOA

The MDT Picatinny Scope Base, Tikka T3X, 30 MOA is intended for shooters who want to mount a scope on a Tikka T3 or T3x while gaining additional elevation for longer-range dialing. The main advantage of the 30 MOA incline is that it shifts the scope’s working range upward, leaving more usable internal adjustment for distance. That makes this base particularly relevant on rifles set up for precision shooting, target work, or hunting applications where shots may extend beyond the range of a flat rail setup.

The base is machined from aluminium and finished in black, giving it a combination of low mass and practical durability. MDT’s rail pattern follows both MIL-STD-1913 and STANAG 4694 dimensions, so ring selection is straightforward for shooters already using Picatinny-compatible optics hardware. The underside is profiled to sit flush on the receiver and match the action geometry, which helps create a neat, stable mounting surface and supports consistent optic alignment.

For the Tikka platform, this style of one-piece rail is a sensible way to convert the rifle’s receiver interface into a more versatile optics base. It simplifies the use of modern rings, supports a wide range of scope choices, and gives the rifle a mounting standard that is well suited to both field and range use. MDT also includes #6-48 TORX screws, so the base arrives with the hardware needed for installation.
