Red face setup opinions...

Regarding rings, I would definitely say Talley's are good. I have them on my Sako 75. Conetrols are also very nice, but quite pricey. As much as I like Warne's, steer clear of their Sako mounts. There have been a lot of issues with the tapered dovetail measurements and fitments. I got some that did not fit....way too loose and sloppy. The gent at Warne (that I talked to) said they have had many "issues" with Sako, and were going to quit trying. Scope-wise, the Conquests are nice, but also consider the Sightron Big Sky line. They are a lot of scope for the money. I'd not hesitate with a VX3 Leupy also. Good luck.
