Thread: Scope mounts for Sako's

If you can use a 2 piece mount like the optilock or leupold then it will be easy to top load the mag. the sako 75 and 85 are good for that so dont give it up lightly.

a rail does give the most flexibility for fore and aft movement but you may not need it.

a rail adds inevitable height so unless your obj lens is 56 or more often some height is wasted. you need careful arithmetic to check this. then if your sight line is high you will need a raised cheekpiece. then you cant get your cleaning rod in unless its a detachachable cheekpiece. less and less elegant ...
