Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Scope Max Size For Sako Ringmount

Hello there i am wondering what is the max size scope you can mount on a Sako 85 with the Ringmounts hardware. I know they mention 48-56mm but has anyone ever mounted a 50mm without issue?

Thanks!

I put a Swaro Z3 4-12x50 in xtralow ringmouints on a sako 75 30-06 IV action.

I thought Ring Mounts only come in LOW height. The 1 piece scope mounts.

The picture in the first post is not a Ringmount. It is a 2 piece Optilock. In the 2 piece a 50mm will fit in the low mount.

The ringmount by Optilock only comes in low and will not accommodate a 50mm on any of my rifles.

Leupold and Millett also make one piece ringmounts for the Sako.

Actually the definition of a ringmount is a one piece mount.

The picture i posted actually show both of Sako mounts, top is Ring Mount and bottom is 2Pieces Optilock.

Look at the manufacturers dimensions and you can draw it from there. Swarovski 4-12x50 has a 56mm dimension. I doubt very many 50mm's are that sleek. It fits very tight in xtralow optilock rings, factory eyecups do not fit the front objective. My Schmidt and bender 2-10x56 would fit in xtra-low 30mm optilocks(2piece) . I have it in Lows, might change it out later on.

So I see. There is only a picture of the two piece Optilocks. The ringmount dimensions are mentioned in print.

I couldn't mount a 50mm with the Ringmounts,nor could I mount a 40mm Leupold 4-12 VX2 with AO. The AO ring made the objective large enough that it wouldn't fit on my Sako rifles.

The 2 piece low Optilock will work with a 50mm easily. I don't know if it will work with anything larger as I don't own any scopes larger than 50mm.

A Leupold vx-6 50mm objective would be 58.42 which would require medium ring mounts but would fit in x-tra low 2 piece optilocks.

You have to spend more but mounting options are way better with Euro scopes.

You guys got it right thanks for the infos

Get some Talley two piece. Best out there for Sako's in my opinion.
