The spacers/ribs arrived for my Tikka U/O today.

I think they are rather expensive for a bit of rubber that looks like a wiper washer blade for a windscreen! However they do the job. Fitted three of the the four. I have a couple of sets of DR barrels, and a couple of combination barrel sets.

While not traditional at all, the rubber thingies do make the barrels look better, so I suppose they are an improvement. Will have to wait a while before I see if they affect how the DR's shoot before I can test them out.

Will see if I can take a photo or two.

Also received several sets of 30 mm rings and Sako QD mounts so can finally fit a Nightforce scope I have had on hand for the 9.3 for a while.

They may well fit a Baikal, but it would depend on the width of the gap between the barrels.
