While much maligned, do like the Butler Creek flip-ups.
I may have been on of the maligners. I’ve had a few break on rifles that get a lot of use.
For a hunting rifle they work just fine.

.#15 objective and #13 eye piece (occular). Leupold lists both as having dimensions of 1.60”

Chevy or Ford?
Well the occular is a standard size for Leupold and I’ve ordered 13s for a half dozen from VX-1, VX-2, VX-Freedom, and Mark ARs. I don’t own a Leupold with a 36mm objective but I’d feel confident trusting the chart.
Coincidentally, or not, the two pictured below have 20mm objectives and use 1” Butler Creek covers which would be (rounded down) 25mm. The scope you’re inquiring about has a 36mm objective and 1.6” outter diameter puts it a hair under 41mm (40.64mm) or an alottment of roughly 5mm for the scope body on all of them. The #15 objective cover is listed at 39.6mm (1.599”) or 1mm smaller than your dimension. Next size larger is 1.612” (#17).

Absolutely Beeeautiful machine.
Fit/finish is outstanding, points like a bird gun, action is smooth, trigger breaks light - like an icicle.
Shoppin' for some Talley scope mounts - should get away w/ the extra low.

I guess I am too late to post that I went with a Tikka T3 SS in 7-08 and a Weaver Superslam scope. I think I have the perfect rifle.
Stainless steel and black synthetic stock. I think it is a lite. I don't recall for sure.
Randy Newberg - thinks pretty highly of the 7mm-08 as well...

That scope ring choice makes for a beautifully proportioned rig, not that it needs my blessing but I heartily approve!
That would be a very nice combo.I guess I am too late to post that I went with a Tikka T3 SS in 7-08 and a Weaver Superslam scope. I think I have the perfect rifle.

Do these mounts hold as well as steel. Five years later, you drop it waist high onto a hard clay road. Them still GTG?
I’d trust Talley for anything short of bombproof (at which point you’d simply be mistreating the rifle). Best looking rings there are IMO
