    I use the Warne tactical mounts on my Tikka Tac and dont have any issues with rattling at all.

    When you have the mounts on the rail, prior to tightening up, have you tried ensuring the mounts are positioned backward/forward on the rail so that the silver pieces are snug against the closest post on on the rail before you tighten up.

    Also have you ensured that the silver pieces are correctly installed/positioned within the mounts? As far as I remember there is a flat end and a pointed end and these fit a particular way within the mounts.

    Is it possible that the mounts are for a weaver rail? there is a dimensional difference between the 2.

    That might be causing the rattle.

    i put the flat end on the rail
    and the notched end facing up into the mount
