Sako M995 30-06 - Scope Mount HELP NEEDED

[deewayne2003]

My buddy has this 30-06 Sako M995 and looking to mount a VX5 HD3-15x44 with 30mm tube.

He forgot to bring the rifle with him so I can’t measure the dovetail, is this dovetail a standard weaver or something Sako specific?

We’re trying to get the rings ordered and could use clarification of the proper mounts and or rings for this rifle from those with more Sako experience, because I have next to none.

From vague memory they are a tapered design specific to sako and their offshoots

Yes, I have learned it’s the “Optilok system” and only options are Optilok & Talley …. We’ve ordered Talley based & rings.

Probably too late, but I have a spare set of Sako one piece (sort of) base/ring from a Sako 85S if they would be useable.- oh, never mind, they are for a 1" tube.

Appreciate the effort though!
