I have just orderd a Sako 85 Carbon, and I was having some diffeculties about the Sako Ringmounts I orded with it.
The scope is a 4x36 with 43mm occular.. and I was wondering which of these heights is the lowest I can use with it?? Extra low or low?
I dont want the bolt handle to hit the occular.
And photos of your 85, with ringmounts is appreciated.
Don't buy the Sako Optilock mounts with separate bases.
These aren't as low as the title would suggest. I have used the 30mm ones with Leupold VX-6 and Leica scopes and they clear the ocular easily.

Optilocks are over priced and too heavy IMHO.
Better (lighter) and less expensive Leupold Sako rings:

Hi.
Thanks.. Its the "one piece" ringmounts I am looking for. Without the bases.
They produce them in low and extra low. I would choose the extra low, if I knew if it fit the rifle with clearance of occular.

And it should be noted that berreta NZ only get in what they think we need not what we want.

I'd say low. Mine under a 42mm is low and it is close to the barrel. I'll send a photo through.

Ringmounts marked "low" are the only height.Quote:

Ok. So what I have is the same as yours then? Either 25mm or 30 in low as option, think they will fit.

Once more in plain English.....one piece ring mounts only come in one height.
The chart above has a guide for what objective diameters will work, but clearance can depend on the barrel profile, and the eye relief you need.
We have a Z5 5-25 x 52 in ring mounts fitted to a Sako 85, with 1mm clearance between the barrel and objective if that helps.

Just had a measure:
Measurements are from the receiver to bottom of scope tube:
30mm Ringmount - Optilock mount 30mm LO SS (S1703904) 10.84mm
1” Ringmount - Optilock mount 1” LO SS (S1703900) 11.00mm
1' EXTRA LOW rings with bases 12.52mm
Ain't that the truth.Quote:

Curious as to why you think they're the best ring mounts for a Sako.Quote:

Yes, that can be an issue with any rings that don't have plastic inserts such as the Optilocks and Burris Signature rings. However, I've always lapped such rings and even wrapped a single layer of Scotch Magic Tape (sellotape) around the scope tube and never had a problem with scope marks with any scope. Even do this with .22 rings.Quote:

Optilocs ?, the self aligning plastic inserts.Quote:

Certainly a plus Bevan and will overcome small alignment issues but won't correct rings that are badly out of alignment which is not always easy to determine by just relying on the plastic inserts. Personally always lap rings but can understand why some or even most wouldn't bother as it's time consuming.

Managed to sneak 4-16x50 on a Tikka Superlight with them with minimal clearance.
