Sako 85 Mounts?

[Rifletuner]

Just wondering what scope mounts people like for the Sako 85? I normally run a Picatinny rail on my Tikkas, they are quite a utilitarian set-up and I have a lot of rings to suit. But I am thinking about something a bit more "classic" looking for a blued/wood Sako.

Some people seem to love optilocks, while others seem to hate them. I've never used them, so have no opinion on them. Then there are a half a dozen or so other mount options, but none of them are mounts I usually run. So just generally unfamiliar with my choices for this rifle.

I am still a bit undecided on the scope I will be running, but it will be a lower powered scope, with an objective lens of 26mm to no more than 42mm.

I use the Sako Optilock on my Sako 85. I have no complaints, they go on & come off easy enough and seem to hold zero well.

All three of my Sako's run Optilocks. Never seen the need to look for anything else.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Some useful info there

I like using Talley rings and bases. I tried optilocks but just couldn’t get the scope low enough due to the bases.
