Need help with my L461 Vixen .223 (scope mounting)

[Prairie Dog Man]

I need some technical help to mount a Vortex Diamondback 6X24, with 30mm tube, on my Sako L461 Vixen .223. The rifle requires tapered ring mounts or tapered Picatanny base. If anyone could give me suggestions as to the vendor who sells these for my Sako and the proper height of the rings to handle the 50mm front lens size.

Thanks in advance.

If you want to go with the rail set up you can find these on ebay. Just make sure you get the correct length. The rail adds height so your rings will not have to be as tall for front lens clearance.

If you don't want the rail setup you can just go with the Optilock base and ring setup.

Not sure what type of bases/rings you are looking for but:

Burris 410635 XTB Sako Dovetail Tactical Steel Bases​

on eBay. Those are the most compact Weaver compatible bases I know of for a Vixen. Then you just use any Weaver style ring.


Or you could got the Leupold route:

Leupold RingMounts Scope Rings for SAKO Firearms 30mm Medium Matte Black​

CVCOBRA1 has the Sako route covered.


Or you could go the Talley route:

Talley Steel Base for Sako L461
Talley 30mm Screw Lock Detachable Ring

Or the QD ones:​

Talley 30mm Signature Ring w/ Lever, Blued Steel
​

That will get you started. Better to many choices than too few.

Thanks

Gentlemen: This was my very first time to be on a blog and I am very appreciative of the information you shared. I like the idea of the Picatinny in the response from CVCOBRA1. I looked at the website and the product, but it is in Europe and their shipping destinations did not include USA. Do they have a distributor in the USA? Again, I am a rookie at this and I really appreciate the help.

Those rails are on ebay. I posted the link to the site so you could get more info on them. Do a search on ebay and get the correct one.

I didn't dig out my 461 and measure it, which you should do, but I would say you want the PH12/0. That is item number 183291597894 on ebay. Again, measure yours to know if that's it. You can then get any picitinny rings that you like in 30mm.

Thank you again COBRA1.

COBRA1 I found it on eBay and ordered it. Thanks for the help!

Leupold makes scope rings that are made for the Sako tapered dove tail on the reciver. Call or email Leupold for the model number for the scope hight and what finish you what on the rings to match your gun.(high gloss, satin, or matt) I just last week contacted Leupold for scope rings for a Sako L461 Vixen single shot bolt action pistol I recently acquired.
Also. Tally makes scope rings for a Sako tapered dove tail.
