RE: Conetrol vs Optilock scope mounts
fisherprice, if you decide to go with the Optilocks, I could make you a deal on a set of 30mm stainless ones that I'm no longer using. I know they will work with a 50mm objective scope because that's what I used them for. I'd probably take $50 for them, which is less than half what they cost brand new. Just let me know if you're interested.
Personally though, the Conetrols would be my first choice as they would allow for a lower scope mount. I'm not sure they make them in stainless for the Sako, however. If not, I'd opt for the matte blued Huntur model. I think they'd look fine.
