Would be easier for mounting NV scopes if pictinnay rail

The M591 is not drilled/tapped as standard. And agreed, the top of the dovetail benefits from a 'skim' but you don't want to take much off, there isn't a huge amount of meat at the front as is.On a Sako you will need to have the dovetail base milled off before you can drill into the receiver or you will have very high base rail before you even fit the mounts , i agree in having the receiver correctly drilled if you hav't the skills to use a drill and tap and tape , after all its only a center line and xyz points to drill 3 or 4 small holes and a countersink the holes on the rail but if the holes are there in the receiver just mark them out on your bit of rail and D.I.Y .
Ebay for the rail by the foot/mtr for peanuts so if you cock it up you can try again. its all made by the yard/mtr and cut up ready for sale .
