Scope mount for sako L461 action?

Does anyone know if sako still makes their original mount for this action? If no - what do you then surgest instead?

Hej Mads

Yes, you can get original Sako Optilock-rings for your L-461 Vixen. They are quite expensive but works fine. Price is about 1100,- DKr.

Hey'
Try Talley mounts.I have two sets of them on my Sako's.Very good quality mounts.Priced less than Opti-loks.They are Weaver style mounts,but much better quaility.

It seems to me that I have some old Sako mounts and some of the nice Stith mounts for the L-461, they won't be cheap and I have to find them but if interested give me an e-mail...they are extremely nice rings but they are 1"...

I think Warne makes 30mm rings that will slide on a Sako dovetail.

Thank you all for you informative replies.

Ray, thank you very much for the fine offer, but I allready have a Sako mount with 1" rings. So what I'm after is one for 30mm rings - so that I can mount a real scope [Big Grin] !

1geejay, I have visited their website, and I think that I give the talley a try when times come.

Sincerely

Mads,

I am pretty sure you won't get the "original" Sako scope in 30mm as I am not sure 30mm scopes were out then.

However the new Optilocks are available in 30mm and although somewhat expensive, are excellent..I know as I have some!

What ever you do, stay away from warne on your sako I had a whole load of trouble which I can only put down to their basic design not working well on the tapered rail Sako use.

Regards,

Pete

Mads,

As 1JEEJAY said, Talley mounts are extremely good. I have a few of them here, and used a set on my 30/404 that I took to Africa this year.

Highly recommended.
