[QUOTE="LRHWAL, post: 210974, member: 5418"] I have a Near MFG picatinny base on my Sako TRG-S (M995). Near MFG are the only guys I could find who make one. Quality and fit is superb. I agree that the price is high compared to others, but this was my first base, so I can't compare quality, but it would surprise me if there was something better (I couldn't buy another brand anyway). I called Richard Near several times about the bases and their installation as I'm in South Africa and wanted to be sure that I got it done right as I was getting instructions and passing them on to my gunsmith / machinist. Richard was really helpful and prepared to chat and give up his time. At one point he even offered to swap my (by then) older model base for a new model that attached a little differently if I wanted. We talked a bit about hunting and optics too. My experince was very positive. Richard struck me as someone who would stand behind his product and he seems rightfully proud of it. But it's pricey, in my opinion. I'd buy one again as my first choice if I wasn't too sensitive to price differences. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
