If it were the L579 round top action (the later browning safari), I’d go S&K hands down, based on looks frankly.

If it’s the traditional Sako dovetail rail, then you face the usual sako dilemma: factory lows (modern, 2-piece lows for a 50mm though barrel contour could influence), older vintage factory sako mounts probably mediums, conetrols, leupold, or the S&K. Check on whether the S&K for that action is the tap on (like control) vs clamps, i don’t know first hand. On the little vixen action, they are a tap on jam-fit, which on a .222 i think is fine, but.

Personally... been down this road many times, flip a coin: leupold for simple and stout but not elegant, vs. S&K. S&K in a heart beat if they clamp on.

Myself, I'd go with vintage factory Sako rings for an L579. They work great and their funky nature is part of the charm of the older Sako rifles. They're not especially cheap, but you don't buy a Sako to save money. JMHO

My L461 and L579 wear vintage sako rings.
Ran a 50mm scope for a little while, personally I think it spoils the balance of the rifle.
