CTR mounting scope
I’m new to precision rifle shooting, intend on ultimately reaching out to over 1,000 yards, and have some questions about how to mount my scope to achieve this. I have a Tikka t3x ctr with a Nikon Black FX1000 4-24×50 scope.
1. Do I need to replace the rail, and if so what would you suggest? 20MOA?
2. What scope ring heights do you suggest? Any preferred rings specifically? -

Hi the tikka rail isn’t that bad but saying that I’d change it for a mountian tactical / trie-one or Spuhr one as for the mount , if your budget will let you go Spuhr , there expensive but when you see / get one you can understand why , ever so slightly cheaper Trie- one also well engineered , has for height I’d get the lowest that will fit your combination , as for added moa on the rail or mounts , just run your data through a ballistic calculator and see how meny moa you need to add at your 1000 yards , for me if it says 30 moa using a 0 moa rail ,(just using any number just to show you) and your scope is zero at 100 I’d go 20 moa ether mounts or rail or a bit of both , this is just how I’d do it other people might disagree but there wrong lol

I appreciate the feedback. I ended up going with a 20 moa mount and leaning towards just keeping the rail as is. If anyone thinks I’m making a terrible mistake please let me know and I can change course.
