+1 on sako optilock ringmounts work perfectly on my sako 85 finnlight 6.5x55 and leupold vx3 2.5x8. Rock solid mounts. I have tried others and they failed any sako of mine gets optilock mounts. Europtic has good selection.

Think they still only sell one size Sako ringmounts. When I called Europtic to order a pair the guy I talked to said they should work with most 40mm scopes which is fine by me.
I just hope they have Torx head screws but I think that is wishful thinking.
If anyone knows who sells Torx screws for the rings I would like to buy some.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

I have the Sako Ring Mounts on 4 Sako's, one with a 36mm scope and the other 3 with a 42mm scope and they fit perfectly...

Europtic has good selection. Enlighten us on all the different mounts that you've tried and the failures. Thanks On my first sako 85 I had warne mounts and they wouldn't hold the scope. It kept moving. I then changed redfield with set screw and ring it worked ok at least would keep scope from moving but I didn't like how it damaged the top of the action. All my other rifles have S&K which work great I just wouldn't put them on my sako.
