Sako 85 mounts

[Varmint Hunter]

Thinking of buying a Sako 85 Carbonlight. Rifle weighs in at 5.3lbs. Looking for the lightest ring/base set-up for this rifle. I will probably use a 1" scope with small objective (under 40mm).

Doesn't look like the popular Talley lightweighs are available for this rifle. Does anyone have another suggestion?

Check out S&K mounts for sako... very lightweight.

Talley steel bases and rings are not going to add that much weight yet will be a very strong mount. I had them on a Finnlight with a 30mm scope and it was still a very light rig.

Also depending on what caliber you are shooting with that light of a rifle, recoil may be more significant therefore the need for a strong scope mounting system. Good luck.

I will be getting a 260 Rem or 7mm-08. Just haven't decided yet. This is a LW project so I'm looking to save every ounce. Mostly just a fun project, not really needed for climbing Mount Everest.
