26mm scope

[20-250]

There were lots of 26mm ringmounts made by Sako for their own rifles in the period when 26mm tubed scopes were manufactured. I might still have some in a box somewhere.

Can't edit the original post, so have done so in the quote above.

Correct.... what you are showing is finish like a girl with lippy and make up on.
I put a Vernier and height gauge also my Mk1 eye balls over them and it was poor.
My judgement was with experience and measuring tools
Ask @paul o' as he was there.
Paul are you there? lol

Good day. I know similar questions have been asked, however mine is a bit more specific. I have an old Sako L461 which “apparently” one struggles to get scope mounts that fit their “tapered dove tails” so I didn’t look further after struggling to get the optilocks that currently fits
I bought an Habich 26mm tube. I have optilck bases but they don’t 26mm, dies anyone have a solution please?
Kind regards

it is easy to open the plastic out on optilock rings or burris rings i have an old pecar 4-10 x 44 that i still use

This old thread has now answered my question about my old German scope, with tapered dovetails for a Sako.

Well done chaps!
