Other official sales descriptions with the same product code also list Sako TRG as compatible. Before installation, check the specific rifle's action rail type. See manufacturer product info. Included in the set Front Optilock base Rear Optilock base Mounting hardware required for installation Manufacturer packaging Optilock rings, optical sight, and installation tools may not be included. It is recommended to check the exact contents of the delivery set with the seller before purchase. Frequently Asked Questions Does the set include one or two optics bases? The product is a two-piece set, including a front and a rear base. One ring from a separately sold Optilock ring set is attached to each base. Are Optilock rings included? No. S13269738 contains only the optics bases. Optilock rings suitable for the main tube diameter and required mounting height of the scope must be selected separately. Is the base suitable for the Tikka T3x rifle? Yes. The base is designed for the 17 mm dovetail rail of Tikka T3 and T3x rifle actions. However, before ordering, it is recommended to check the specific rifle model's rail and any previous adapter configurations. Is this base suitable for the Tikka T1x rifle? It is not recommended to choose this model for the T1x just because of the Tikka name. The Tikka T1x uses a different 11 mm rail and requires a corresponding Optilock 11 mm base, such as product code S11862354. Is the base suitable for 30 mm and 34 mm scopes? The base itself does not determine the main tube diameter of the scope. Suitable Optilock rings, which must be selected according to the scope's 30 mm or 34 mm main tube and required mounting height, can be installed on it. Is this a Picatinny base? No. This model is a two-piece Optilock dovetail base for attaching Optilock rings. For using Picatinny rings, a separate Picatinny or Weaver rail solution must be chosen. Can Optilock rings be mounted directly onto the Tikka rifle rail? Traditional two-piece Optilock system rings are attached to these bases, not directly to the rifle action rail. An exception is the separate ringmount-type mounts, which have a different construction. Does the optics base need to be glued to the rifle? Installation should follow Sako or Tikka guidelines. The use of threadlocker should not be assumed automatically, as the wrong or too strong product may make later removal difficult. If in doubt, have the mount installed by a gunsmith. When is Sako Tikka Optilock Blued Dovetail the right choice? This base is the right choice if the rifle has a compatible dovetail rail and you want to use the traditional two-piece Optilock mounting system. Together with correctly selected Optilock rings, it forms a compact steel mount that is well suited for Tikka T3 or T3x hunting rifles. An alternative should be considered if the rifle has an 11 mm rail, Picatinny rail, or some other mounting standard. For frequent accessory changes with Picatinny equipment, a full-length rail is more flexible. For Tikka T1x and Sako Quad, an 11 mm base should be chosen, and for scopes with large objectives, particular attention should be paid to ring height. Expert recommendation When choosing an optics mount, treat the base and rings as one system. First, check the rifle model and action rail, then the main tube diameter of the scope and the actual external diameter of the objective housing. Based on this data, you can choose 30 or 34 mm rings and the appropriate height. During installation, ensure that the front and rear bases are positioned correctly and all contact surfaces are clean. Place the scope in the rings without forcing it, set eye relief in your usual shooting position, and tighten the mounts evenly to the manufacturer’s recommended torque. Overtightening does not improve the mount and may damage screws or optics. After installation, the rifle should be zeroed at the shooting range. After the first series of shots, check that the bases and rings have not shifted, but do not overtighten screws beyond the specified value. Strong Optilock base for Tikka and Sako bolt-action rifles The Sako Tikka Optilock Blued Dovetail combines strong steel construction, a compact two-piece design, and a wide selection of Optilock rings. If the rifle’s dovetail rail and chosen rings are compatible with the product, it enables the creation of a reliable and scope-dimensioned optics mounting system.
