Tikka 695 scope base

Anybody know if this takes the same base as any other rifle: Ithaca LSA, Tikka hunter, etc.? The top of the receiver is flat, groved, but also d&t'ed. I'd like to put a "turn-in" base on it (Leupold, Burris, etc.).

  I am nearly certain that the 695 takes the same bases as the T3.
  
  I have a 595, and went through this exercise about a year ago. Leupold, among others, makes a product for the Tikkas.
  
  I called Dave Talley, and ordered a set of his lightweight mounts, which incorporates the mount and ring into one piece. They have worked very well for me. I mounted a 30mm Leupold 4.5 X 50 LR scope on my 595 with a quite low configuration, and it clears everything just fine for me, although I tend to mount the scope quite far forward. His service is excellent and speedy. You can look online at talleyrings.com, or call them at 803-854-8700. I recall that these were under $50 or so.

  Thanks Steve, I'll look into that. My research seems to indicate that Warne makes rings, also, that attach directly to the grooves in the receiver. I think I'll abandon the Leupold, Burris idea.
