Are the 412 series barrels also interchangeable with the Valmet 300's and the Savage 2400's?

Are scope mounts available for these?

Thanks,

These weigh about a pound less than the 412s. The barrels Do Not fit the 412-512 Valmets. They will fit the Lion and 300 series guns and the 2400 Savage. You can mount scopes using Sako dovetail adapter bases that fit the dovetail Sako integral base. Weaver makes a good set, so you have a Picatinny ring capable base. You can also find the original type Sako QD mounts for Sako at around $150.00 + or -.

These have the advantage of barrel adjustment/regulation, as these photos show.
