dk,
I am partial to the SAKO Optilock direct ring mount (no bases). I save my milk money for a bit and take the plunge:cry3:. There are other direct mount rings made for SAKO that are cheaper. I am assuming here you want them for a shooter, and not likely to remain a "period" accessorized rifle?

If you are going to shoot and hunt the rifle, consider screw lock detachable rings from Talley. Rock solid.

Howdy 5280,

Do the Talleys have set screws in the bases? I've seen lots of others here use them, but If I recall there are two vertical set screw in the base piece. Is that the "screw lock" descriptor?

I can't bring myself to use the Redfield or Burris type mounts with the central set screws as they mar, mangle, deface, mutilate the receiver top. IOR Valdada looked promising with their picatinny style rings and base set up, but I believe they are set screw up your receiver mounts too.

I've had luck with old style Warnes. I've heard that a shooter or two have had shearing problems, I never have. Although discontinued, they pop up every so often. (Maximas won't work)

Finally, keep your nose plastered to the classifieds here, on Evil bay, on G broker and you can find some old style, windage adjustable. Medium height Sako rings between 50 and 150 bux.

or you can go buy some leupold ring mounts.

Gary,
Confirmed. I got some Valdada rings for a 34 mm tube. They are picatinny bases for the dove tails with the set screws. Quality I thought is better than the Leupold. My opinion. Just the same problem with set screws.

Does anyone have a pic of the valdada bases on their rifle

Get the Talleys with the seperate bases and rings . I used Leupolds and Redfields for years but they won't your zero like the Talley two piece.
