i bought a tikka t3 today.. and while it comes with rings, i want to maybe do better if it makes sense to do so. I'm thinking the dn. 1 piece or maybe just leupold rings. What are the thoughts out there?

I don't know if they're the best or not, but they are really affordable and I love the pair I have. Never heard anything bad about them and would not hesitate to buy another set.

Don't use those factory rings
You could go with talley lightweights, dnz, or get a pic rail ring set up

DNZ one piece, if 40 mm objective low is good...

no 1 objective is to get the scope bell as close to the barrel as possible, but...for some people, this is uncomfortable, a 1/4" or so I don't think would have that much effect on accuracy, if I am wrong someone will correct me.

I liked the set of warne maximas I had in a rifle. Around $50.
I think I'll try a set of the swfa rings next.

so I read a few reviews and went with the dnz low mount... it looks like the most solid idea out there and I think its as low as I can go with the scope im going with which is a leupold 3-9x40 vx2

Ive run both DNZ and Talley and both are good. But I do like the DNZ better. Its a true one piece mount. Lows should be perfect for your scope

Talley or DNZ. I like the look of the Talley better but DNZ looks like they would be stronger. Those are about all I use anymore

I install a lot of scopes on Tikka's using Warne and Leupold, never had any come back.
Don’t roll those bloodshot eyes at me.

I prefer Leopold dual dovetail or Burris Zee rings on steel Warne mounts. Reliable and look good.

I have leupold bases and rings on both my Tikka's and they are tack drivers. Never had an issue

I use a pic base or rail and use Burris XTR rings. Work great so far on most of my rifles. I like the 6 hole rings and of course I align and lap the rings as you should with all rings.
It is far more important to be able to hit the target than it is to haggle over who makes a weapon or who pulls a trigger.
