Near Mfg Base For Sako 75

[Centre Punch]

Hi,
I remember reading a post regarding near mfg base for sako 75, i have done a search but came up blank.
I went to near's site but it only mentions bases for Sako TRG's
Does anybody have a photo of a Near Mfg base on a Sako 75
Many thanks.

Ian.

I dont have a photo but BJ Bailey has one one his Sako action 300rum and it is nice. Great work and very high quality, a lot better than the standard Sako mounting system. Unless NEAR already has some made you may have a hard time getting him to make you one though

good luck

All of these have Near bases on them but the first rifle is a Sako 75. It's not a close up, but it's all I have. I've been very happy w/this one!!

I don,t have a picture but I do have two near bases for sako 75 and they work great they fit in the dovetail you just slide them forward and the last bit you tap them I put locktite on them frist . They do come with set screw and screws to have tap in but I just have locktite and no problem I have them on a 300 um very nice fit and they look the same as you see on his site.I can e-mail you a picture if you want but I have no idea how to post it here. hope this can help

Thanks for the info guys, especially the pic Bill,
I have been offered a Sako 75 Varmint stainless with a re-barrel in 22-250AI, the base is an important factor in my decision to buy this Rifle.

Ian,
I think Pete can put a 1-piece weaver rail on the Sako. Give him a shout!

Ian and Matt,
Many of the rifles in the Near website happen to be mine - I shot much of the photography for that site. Got to do some more, way overdo on some new graphics. Long blond hair does the trick!!!

I,am also intrested in a base for Sako,I have a L61, I think it is the same as 75?

I emailed Near Manuf. about my Sako 75 .300 Wby (Action length V) and was told he does make a base for it. However, the only base he makes for this action length has 25 MOA taper. I'm not a 1000 yard shooter, 500 yds or thereabouts is about as far as I go and 90% of my shooting is less than 250 yards. So, would 25 MOA taper be way too much for my application?

 

[longrangebo]

No 25moa is fine it just gives long range shooters more elev adjustment. By the way is your model 75 the same as L61 tapered dovetail built in action

 

[Delta Hunter]

Don't know about the L61, but yes, it does have tapered dovetails.

Hi; I know you already found out that Near does make this for the Sako 75. I bought one from him for my Sako 75 and wouldn't have it any other way. He didn't have any rings in stock at the time and he recommended Badger. I bought the 10 MOA rail and feel that it has more than enough built in elevation using the Nikon Tactical Scope. This is the first rifle I set up using the Tactical system and compared to all my other mounting systems....they all look like toys from a cereal box.

Ian, i got a call back from the folks at Near this morning, sounded like good folks to deal with and i am about to order some rails, do you want me to get you one aswell?
they have a rail for the sako 75 3 and 5 action.
