Indentify these rings...Sako...?

[Stix]

Ive bought a set of rings (well they came with a used scope) & im missing a base...

Csn snyone indentify the brand of them...?
(Are they an old Sako ring or aftermarket)

And slso, any idea where & even IF might get a base from...

These came off a sako 85 & going on a diff sako 85...

The base locates in the ring, & the rear base i have has the pin that locates in the top of the action on an Sako 85...

Any advice appreciated...

Thanks so much Rich...!!

I owe you a green label...maybe even one per ring...

Do they leave marks on the scope tube?

[Stix]

Dunno...looks like they would...
But i bought the scope & apparently it was mounted in these rings, & there is little to no marks on scope.

Not sure where these rings sit in the "prefered quality" stakes of rings...
Or even if you would lap them out given the texture inside them obviously designed to grab--but that wouldnt allow for great contact...

Dont have the front 'base' anyway, so doubt ill ever find out...
Maybe they were mounted like this...i just dunno & the guy i bought them from isnt helpful...

Ill have to wait & get a set of sako 30mm med or high rings i think...

So if anyone has any they dont need or knows of any available...let me know...
I rather save on used than buy new if i can...

Mate - I have literally just received some Burris XTR Moa insert rings in 30mm.
They do sit a bit high...but they look decent (meaty as! Triple bolts in each side of each clamp) and I don’t need them...and they come with multiple Moa inserts and a really really fancy case lol.
Let me know if interested.

I just bought some rings for my M55 Tikka, which has the same dovetail mount as Sako, so Sako mounts fit. I have found that a normal ring mount does not give me enough eye relief with a large scope. My LSA Tikka JUST lets me put my 2-12X50 scope where I need it, so for the M55 I wanted more wiggle room on the front mount. You cannot get a picatinny rail easily for these rifles, so I had to rule that option out.

In the end I bought Sako Optilock mounts and rings. The ring sits a bit forward of the centre of the mount, so it gives a nice offset to allow more eye relief. So if you want to mount a larger scope like my 2.5-15 x56 and do not want a rail, they will be an option.

Thanks Tassie...
Are they for a rail...?
I need them to go on a sako dovetail....

[TassieTiger]

Made to mount on a picatinny rail...sorry. Just googled your problem, wasn’t clear to me until a few mins ago.
