[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 27214, member: 25"] Sako, Thing I don't like (or understand) about SAKO mounts is why in hell they design them with that base you attach the rings to. That makes them so high. The old Sako rings attached directly to the dovetail on top of the receiver and they were much lower. Anyhow, Warne has a neat base that fits directly to the dovetail on top of the receiver and it is very simple and in my opinion a great looking mount. Just a dovetail machined into the bottom of a set of vertically split ring halves, but it fits like a glove. Check out [url="http://www.warnescopemounts.com"]www.warnescopemounts.com[/url] or give them a call at 503 657-5590 You can also buy the mounts from Brownells, I loaned my catalog so can't give you the page or number but they are there. I did a test of the 168's a while back and believe that they are very good killing bullets. We doubled on a mulie standing head-on, partner was shooting 168/XLC's and I had 165/Scirocco, bullets hit him at the same moment from 525 yards. He was fairly dead when he hit the ground. That was with .308's so your magnum will hit harder. [/QUOTE]
