Scope mount and 30mm rings for a Sako action--need suggestions

[gene pool]

I need your suggestions regarding scope mounts and rings for a pre-Garcia Sako magnum action. The caliber is 300 Win Mag. I have Sako rings for 1" tube scopes, but I want to go to a 30mm tube scope.

I know Sako has a unique mounting system and that it will probably require something made for it.

Any suggestions?

Thank you,
Gene Pool

I am sure that optilock mounts are what you would need.

Leupold makes nice 1" and 30mm rings that mount directly onto the Sako dovetails. I have a 30mm set on an L461. It is a very clean setup.
Another option would be Tally bases and rings. Again I have a 30mm set on another L461. Tally may make a direct fit ring, but I've never seen them.
Weaver made/makes bases that mount on the tapered dovetail and then you can use any Weaver style ring. These are not as visually pleasing as the other options.
The Optilock rings and bases are nice but probably the most expensive option.

Thanks, gentlemen. This info has been very helpful.

Forgot to mention that Leupold makes Sako bases for their proprietary QR rings and Redfield used to make dovetail style bases. If you can't find new, they show up regularly on ebay.

If you are uncertain if what you see will work, give them a call. I've been using them for years; they do really good work and have high quality bases and rings.

I have a set of Sako opti lock bases and rings if you are interested.

Thank to all for your help. A 20 MOA pickitany base by U.S. Optics has been ordered. They make one that goes on Sakos. The smith will clamp it on plus drill and tap both ends too.

Thanks again,
