What I ended up doing when I mounted a Burris XTR-II on a Varmint was to get an EGW HD scope rail for the T3 and then I bought Seekins low rings.  It turned out great.

Any of the Tikka models work well with a MT or EGW rail and MED PRW rings with 50mm objectives…

Here are pictures one of my Vortex (HSLR 6-24 FFP) scopes mounted on my Varmint & Lite… You have about 1/8″ to 1/4″ clearance at the objective bell depending on if you go with a 20-moa or 0-mow rail…

Listen to Dogdown, he has practical exp.

Dog Down could you use low rings in that configuration? It looks like the picture of the receiver length rail you could go with lower rings.

I'm setting up for deer hunting so I want my scope as low as possible.

Thanks

You can use low rings but you will most likely have to cut back the rail to the receiver length….
Depending on where you like to position your scope, more front or back, the objective bell will touch the rail and restrict positioning.  See the picture I posted of my Varmint above with the rail cut back, if you do this you should not have a problem with low PRW mounts.

If you are looking for the best permanent mounting solution to get the scope low on the gun the DNZ one piece mount is hard to beat.

Appreciate the insight.  I see you like your Leupold PRW rings. Have you tried the QRW?

Look like same rings just ability to remove without tools

I shoot alot of precision shooting at 100-200 testing different loads for different rifles and I've never found a “Quick” release ring or mount yet that will hold an exact true exact zero if you remove and remount….so I've stick with permanent mounts.  I really like the PRW rings, its a great value for a steel ring.  BUT, the only issue with them,… is you can over torque very easily and damage the compression plate that snugs up against the rail.  The steel is soft and will bend or crack if you don't use a torque wrench to proper specs…you cannot go by feel and free tighten with these rings.
