putting leupold VXIII 2.5-8 on it. Thanks.
Then you would use short bases
have installed Conetrol rings and bases on 2 of my Sako rifle. They are a little tricky to install but I like the end result being the look without any mounting screws on the rings. I also have Optilok rings on another Sako rifle and like the design with the protective ring. I find the rings are set a little high for a 40 mm scope , even if they are the extra low set up...
COnetrols are a real nice setup as well..your going to get them in CM but they are available in SS for 50% more. A PITA sometimes to setup but they are strong as all get out and windage adjustable and are way prettier then Optilocks. I have a 42mm Kahles on my "low" rings and they could surely go down a little and look a lot nicer.
