I don't do a lot of shooting but I turn a lot of bolts for a living. If the bolts were worth a shit at all, they should hold that scope for a lifetime. The thickness of the bolt, times however many, equals the total thickness. So, it looks like 3 bolts at what? A quarter inch each. That's a 3/4 inch thick piece of steel. If it was worth a shit, that could lift a car.

I have a Tikka M695, which is very similar to T3. One of the rings has a solid stud that interlocks with the receiver and transfers the recoil into scope (haha). The screws aren't there to accept recoil. Unfortunately, being older than T3, it does not have a Pic rail. I had to buy proprietary rings from Beretta (who own Tikka).
