HannayPush button sling swivel bases - Sauer 200?
Not sure if this is the right forum, but let me try. A year or so I bought a used Sauer 200 rifle in .30-06, which shoots well, but which came with flush mount bases for a push-button type quick-detach swivel. It did not come with the actual sling swivels. I assume the bases were factory installed, but don't even know that for sure.
As best I can tell with my calipers, the diameter is 0.375" and the depth from the rim to where the base starts to taper inwards is about 0.410".
Finally coming to my questions: is this a standard size and where would I find some push button sling swivels that fit? Ideally, I could find it here in the US. Otherwise, I can try and contact Sauer, but as it appears from sauer.de that blaser-usa.com represents them, and there is no mention of Sauer rifles on the blaser site...it doesn't look too promising.
Thanks,
Hannay
p.s. A couple low quality photos might follow, if I can figure out how to embed them.

HannayIgorrock,
I had considered that, but thought that would be too easy. I will go ahead and order some.
Thanks!

HannayTo close the loop on this, I ordered the Uncle Mikes set of push button swivels, and, indeed, they fit perfectly. Iggorrock - thanks again!
