Montes. The small hole on the top and front of the receiver is for the optilock stopping pin, I just want to know the screw size (thread of the 4 treaded small holes) for the base mount, I have a Warne premier mount but I dont have the screws, and the common american base screws (6-48 or 8x40) doesnt fit, maybe they are the 6-40??? I dont know.Thanks for answering. Regards

The owner manual says the plug screws in the receiver are M3.5x3

Receiver is also tapped to receive standard (Weaver) scope mount bases.

I believe the S61 Weaver base is the one that fits that rifle.

The Weaver bases come with screws, and are inexpensive. So if you can't find the screws just order the bases Wink

Well, quite obviously american thread screws will not fit the European rifle. Metric standards are in use in most of the civilized Europe (and slowly the rest of the world) Wink

So, listen to others who said the correct one and forget the US stuff.
