Agreed............and hopefully they will come up with a different scope mounting system that actually screws into the reciever instead of the current cheesy clamp-on system.................Hb


You call tapered dovetails milled into the receiver cheesy?
not only cheesy but super cheesy, ive read too many stories from PH's and others where Optilock's are not tightened properly and just slide right off the back. What's so strong about a tapered dovetail if your scope is just clamped on with the heavy, bulky soft screwed Sako optilock system? I have never been impressed with this system, i like my scope based screwed into the reciever like Sako chose to go with on the A7 model.........i will say that I do like the Ruger system as it seems much more rugged........Hb
