Thanks RH.
I plan to use a 1" tube 40mm objective scope on this rifle. Here's some 1" lows with a Swaro 3-10x42. Part number S1701900. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/7aekjS6.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/OfCL71I.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/U6oSqcG.jpg) Looks great Skeen! That will work out fine. That's the way I will go. Looks like a 44mm scope would work good too. Thanks for the info Skeen, Axtell, and others.
FÜCK Jeff_O!

The front Optilock is positioned right at the edge of the ejection port. With a Leupold Ringmount,that mount would have to be over half way down that front rail toward the barrel,just to clamp. It really limits your mounting options to longer tubed scopes.

Optilock Ring Mounts while slik may propose a problem with some short scopes.The front ring placement affects windage.It should be at the halfway point for zero windage.If you need to place them back you will need to adjust your windage.
FWIW I found the Conetrols are the most sleek,PIA to mount but worth it.
Sorry,I drank the Sako-Aid.My opinion may be biased.

Never had a Leupold ringmount not tighten properly but I mount them near the center or a little rearwards of center. I would've thought Skeen's Optilock ringmount is way too far back for ideal scope centering of the reticle.

I always use Leupold Sako ringmounts in low. Never had any mark the checkering as it doesn't touch it. Nor have I had any move. I just removed some Sako Optilock ringmounts on a Sako 85 I bought and installed the Leupold ringmounts. Why? Because the Leupold's are lighter and lower. I always lap the Leupold ringmounts which is one thing you don't have to do with the Optilocks.
I bought the 75 used, it had the rings attached, when they were removed the checkering was dinged. So either the previous owner did not attach them correctly which I doubt or they do somehow touch. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/aZAzITm.jpg) Strange little mark. Could possibly of been done by something else prior to mounting the rings.

I would've thought Skeen's Optilock ringmount is way too far back for ideal scope centering of the reticle. I've never had an issue with centering. If the reticle wasn't centered ,I didn't know it,but I use these guns with set and forget scopes under 200 yards. I have had a couple scopes I couldn't mount on my Sako's with Leupolds that seemed to mount and work fine with the Optilocks. I don't hate the Leupolds though. I have a set on an older L579.
