The Tikka Optilock mount keep the scope centered in all conditions. The scope rests in the grip of a revolutionary ball-bearing type ring. Unlike conventional mounts, the Optilock's polymer rings distribute the clasping force evenly along the scope shaft, ensuring that your valuable optics will not be twisted or scratched. With Optilock mounts, the scope and mounts are easily mounted and removed as one unit without affecting the point of impact. The limiter pin in the mount base and the limiter pin slot on the receiver enable fast and accurate remounting of the scope/mount unit and guarantee stability of mounting. Optilock bases and rings are machined from a solid block of CR-Mo Alloy or stainless steel. The base design with its clamping device connects to the Tikka T3 rifle's integral dovetail rail on the receiver.
 

The Optilock Rings listed below require an Optilock Base for mounting. The Sako and Tikka bases below are designed to be used on Sako and Tikka rifles with mount rails (dovetails) on the receiver. Please order bases with your rings if you want to mount the unit on a rifle. Sako/Tikka rings require Sako/Tikka bases. Tikka rifles require Tikka bases and Sako rifles require Sako bases.  Tikka Optilock Rings fit Sako and Tikka Bases listed below.  Mounting screws and wrench included with rings and bases.  

The innovative new design has all the advantages of Sako Optilock scope mounts joined to new practical quick-acting levers. Levers are adjustable, making the removal and remounting of the scope precise and easy. Levers can be adjusted to the desired position.

In big game hunting, the situations may require that you can remove the scope in seconds and use open sights or change to another scope type. Sako Optilock Quickmount allows you to do that, and leaves no disturbing base pieces on the action. The quickmount feature is also practical for traveling storing and when the rifle is cleaned and oiled. When re-mounting just push the unit back to dovetail rails of your Sako so that the limiter pin is pushed all the way to the slot on the receiver, tighten the levers and you are all set - in seconds! The scope is now zeroed as it was before the removal.

Short, Long, and Extended Sako Optilock Base Selection Chart

Max Dia = Maximum scope objective diameter (or outside diameter of scope cover) measured forward of the receiver at Max barrel diameter.

Max Dia = Maximum scope objective diameter (or outside diameter of scope cover) measured forward of the receiver at Max barrel diameter.

***X-Low available as Ringmounts Only

The chart is correct for all tube lengths, however keep in mind that these are maximum outside objective bell diameters that are listed on the chart, not the scope manufacturer's listed objective lens size.

For example, a typical 50 mm scope will have an actual outside diameter of 58 mm.  You can see from the chart,  in the first column, that the maximum objective diameter with low rings combined with a standard contour barrel is 55 mm. That means the objective bell diameter of a typical 50 mm scope is 3 mm to large and will hit the barrel when the scope is mounted. The second column listing is to be used on rifles that have a bull or heavy type barrel, you can see that these listed maximum objective bell diameters are less than in the first column, indicating the smaller available bell clearance when mounting scopes on rifles with thicker barrels. Most scope manufacturer's will list the outside objective bell diameter on their websites or catalogs scope specification charts, this way you can determine which ring height to choose without having to have the scope in hand.

A good rule to keep in mind is:
Use low rings for scopes with up to 40 mm lens size
Use medium rings for scopes with 50 mm lens size
Use high rings on scopes with larger than 50 mm lens size
