Sako and Tikka mounts
Do Tikka rifles use the Sako type scope mounts? I've not found mounts made exclusively for Tikkas. Sako and Tikka owners, do you prefer the Sako mounts or are the Leupold replacements just as good? Thanks.

RE: Sako and Tikka mounts
The Tikka & Sako mounts are identical. I currently have 4 Tikka rifle's, three of them wear Tikka mounts, the fourth has Millet/Tikka mounts. I have never had to re-tighten the Tikka mounts, while the Millets require attention at least once a season. It's not due to recoil either, the 3 with Tikka mounts are a 300 win mag, 270, & 243 the Millet's are on a 22-250. The only reason I have the Millet's is the shop owner gave them to me n/c when the rifle showed up 2 month's latter than he promised. Go for the Sako/Tikka mounts, especially if you have a heavier recoiling gun.
