Yes. They are vertically split and were made in low, medium, and high. They were also made for fixed mounting, without the QD feature. Here's what the QD rings look like on a long-action Sako. They have tabs that index the rings on the ejection port. The scope is a 1.75-6x Leupold VX-III.Thank you!
So are the Warne QD called just warne qd for sako?
Much depends on what you intend to hunt and under what lighting conditions, but for most hunting with that sort of rifle, a low-powered scope is appropriate. My default choice would be a Warne QD called just warne qd for sakoI or similar in either original Sako rings or, if the gun has open sights, Warne QD rings (discontinued, but can sometimes be found on eBay or Gunbroker). I have that Leupold in Sako rings on an AV in 9.3x62mm, a ballistically similar cartridge.
You should not need to rotate the rifle scope on an AV rifle when mounting a VX III rifle scope. The ejection angle is plenty low to clear the windage turret, I’ve mounted on several occasions, 1.5-5 Leupolds, in low ringmounts, both Leupold and Sako - and never had a spent case not clear.Looks like I should run the Leupold with the scope turned 90 degrees with a duplex reticle so the windage adjustment doenst impead the ejection.
Any thoughts on where to dine a used VXIII?
Check with Rodger at [email protected]. He usually has a few used Leupolds in stock.Any thoughts on where to dine a used VXIII?
The AV will have NO EJECTION ISSUES! You must be thinking of the current Model 85 that has shown that tendency with certain caliber/scope combinations. The ejector is completely different between these two models. The AV is good to go with any scope you put on it.Looks like I should run the Leupold with the scope turned 90 degrees with a duplex reticle so the windage adjustment doenst impead the ejection.

You could try these.Well I still need rings for this gun. Frustrating. Can someone point the way?
As Spaher says, what scope do you intend to mount? Most people prefer a fairly low magnification scope with good eye relief on a .375. Also, you'll want to keep the scope as low as practical since you don't want your head bobbing around in the air to get your eye high enough for the sight picture, then have the recoil of the .375 smack the scope into your forehead as your extended neck does a whiplash. Even the lowest of the current Sako Optilock mounts are inexplicably too tall for a normal size scope.
Fixed power scopes are almost impossible to find these days, so you may have to go with a lower power variable. Anything in the Leupold line between 1-4X and 2-7x is a pretty good choice, although there are certainly other good scopes available. Original Sako ringmounts (now out of production) can be found online or from some dealers. You'll probably need the "medium" height for anything up to a 40mm objective, but can use a "low" for straight-tube scopes like the 1-4x or 1.5-5X. If you can't find the original Sako ringmouts then the Leupold ringmounts also clamp directly on the Sako receiver without the use of bases and are also good rings with a clean form.
