For those faced with a similar dilemma I am shewing a 1958 model 5 with a set of 5/8" Ausinel mounts I cut to suit, also included are a set of the Brno mounts from the Ebay seller I listed in my prior post. The Tikka bases shewn also work fine and give one the added facility to change ring heights as needed.

Two things that do come to mind, one is that I would kill to have Morris at Alaska arms provide his mounts for the 5/8" dovetail, and I am going to grab a set of older Sako rings and cut them to suit the 5/8" dovetail, as I reckon they would really hit the spot on the Brno.
