Tikka M595

About the Tikka

Tikkakoski was at first a metal workshop established in 1893 in Jyväskylä, Finland, which later, at the end of World War I in 1918 evolved into a factory that produced gun components. One of the most important guns of Tikka in the 20th century is most definitely Suomi KP/-31, which is regarded as one of the most successful submachine guns of World War II.

Tikkakoski and Sako cooperated on a prototype rifle series in 1981 and soon after that, Tikkakoski was acquired by Sako. By the end of the decade, the production of Tikka rifles has already shifted from Jyväskylä to Sako headquarters in Riihimäki. Tikka still holds on to their traditional gunsmith craftsmanship, visually inspecting every rifle barrel and then manually testing the rifle with test shots. In 2009 Beretta group took over Sako, which got Sako and Tikka access to the most advanced production methods.

Tikka M595 Rifle Review

It is a predecessor to Tikka T3 and it is a short action rifle. Tikka M595 has a single-column detachable magazine and a 70-degree bolt throw. It has a 16.5 mm dovetail with a recoil notch for mounting purpose.

The dovetail is partially disconnected, the middle part of the dovetail above the bolt only has a dovetail notch on one side, which means the insertion of cartridges directly into chamber is easier at the expense of a less rigid rifle which could lead to worse shot accuracy in some situations. Alternatively, it has 4 tapped holes, 2 at the front and 2 at the back.

Which rifles have interchangeable mounts

Two-piece mounts for the following Tikka rifles,

M55/M65
M590/M690
M695

which are meant to be installed on 4 tapped mounting holes will fit this rifle as well.

Our recommendation for mounts

Fixed mounts:

For fixed mounts on this rifle, we recommend Optilock Tikka Base mounting bases. We can insert rings onto these bases, but we must be careful, because Optilock rings are available only for 1inch (25.4mm), 30mm and 34mm diameter scope tubes. One special feature of the Optilock rings are the polymer inserts (except the 34mm ring, which does not include inserts), which prevent scratches on the scope. If we want to install scopes with rails or scopes with tube diameters other than these of Optilock rings, we need to reach for rings of other companies like Recknagel, EAW or Osuma, and they fit Optilock bases as well.

Detachable repeatable mounts:

For Tikka M595 repeatable mounts, we would recommend to first install Picatinny rails and then install any detachable repeatable mount that fits Picatinny rails on top of them.

If you would prefer to have detachable repeatable mounts without Picatinny rails, we would recommend EAW pivot mounts.

Picatinny rails:

The best option for installation of Picatinny rails would be the rails of Nightforce.

It is worth mentioning, that these rails are made of aluminium, while the rifle receiver is made of steel, therefore the combination is not ideal, because of the mechanical reasons. More about that in our article:

Aluminium vs. Steel Picatinny rail

Help us build our riflescope mounts database

If you have this rifle or any other rifle at home, we would really appreciate it if you could send us some photos of the rifle receiver (mounting surface of the rifle when there are no mounts installed), because it would help us expand our rifle mounts database. If you send us a photo of rifle receiver which we don’t already have, that would be of great value to us and we will definitely reward you for your help.

Please send us an email for more information. You can contact us here: info@optics-trade.eu

Blaser has revolutionised the way rifle scopes are mounted on the rifles with their saddle mount system. The main feature of this system is that it can be found with all Blaser rifles, no matter what type or model they are. That means that Blaser succeeded to offer the same mounting solution on repeating rifles like on the R93, R8, Combination rifles like B95/97, Single Shot break rifles like K95, Drillings like D99, Bockdrillings like D14, side by side rifles like S2 and all other rifles made by Blaser.

This system is thus by far the most versatile mounting system on the market. Additional advantages that it offers are:

Very low mounting height of scopes with rails like Zeiss ZM/VM, Swarovski SR, S&B Convex,
100% repeatability when detached and reattached,
small size and weight,
easy detaching and reattaching the scope to a rifle.

This mounting system has four notches for mounting directly on the barrel and not on the action. All mounts that attached to all four notches can be used on all types of Blaser rifles. Those mounts however that are attached only to 2 notches (most commonly these are mounting solutions for the red dot sights and reflex sights) are rifle specific. That means that MAKnetic for Docter Sight for Blaser R8 will not fit on any other Blaser rifle except R8. Such mounts are very elegant due to their small size but their versatility is limited to one specified type of Blaser rifle only.

Another important consideration that needs to be pointed out is that all mounts for Blaser rifles (original and non-original) are designed to work only on one single barrel. That means that if you have set a mount on one barrel (setting a mount on the Blaser rifle means to tighten the adjustment screw in a way that clamping of the mount on the four notches is done by exactly appropriate force) it will work only on that Blaser barrel and not on others. You can have multiple optics on one Blaser barrel but you cannot have a single optics on multiple Blaser barrel. The only exception to this rule are Dentler mounts.

This mounting system can be found on the following Blaser rifles:

R8
R93
B95/B97
D99
K95
S2
