Optilock Weaver / Picatinny Base

• Steel construction: The base is made from steel for the rigidity needed to keep an optic stable under recoil and repeated use, helping preserve zero on hunting and precision rifle setups.
• Weaver / Picatinny interface: A cross-slot rail format gives broad compatibility with many scope rings, red dot mounts and other sighting accessories, making it easier to match the rifle to different optics.
• Low 6.20 mm profile: The compact BH height keeps the optic close to the bore, which supports a more natural cheek weld and a more consistent shooting position.
• Model-specific fit: This Optilock base is intended for a defined group of compatible rifles, which helps provide secure mounting geometry instead of relying on a universal compromise.
• Finnish manufacture: Made in Finland, the base follows the same practical design approach associated with Sako mounting products, with an emphasis on dependable alignment and field durability.

About the Optilock Series

Optilock is Sako’s line of rifle scope mounts, bases, and rings, developed to provide a stable interface between rifle and optic for hunting and sporting use. Within the broader Sako ecosystem, the series covers both traditional receiver-specific solutions and Picatinny-compatible mounting options, giving shooters a choice between classic low-profile mounting and the flexibility of cross-slot rails. The range is built around practical mechanical strength, with steel construction used across the line for the rigidity needed to support repeatable optic alignment.

A defining feature of the Optilock family is its focus on protecting the optic as well as securing it. Optilock rings use polymer inserts that spread clamping force more evenly around the scope tube, helping reduce marking and supporting consistent grip. The series is offered in different diameters and heights so it can be matched to different scope sizes and objective bells, while the bases are made for compatible interfaces including dovetail and Picatinny rails. In practice, the Optilock series is aimed at shooters who want a mounting system that prioritizes fit, mechanical security and straightforward integration with Sako, Tikka and other compatible rifle platforms.

About the Optilock Weaver / Picatinny Base

The Optilock Weaver / Picatinny Base is a fixed steel mounting base designed for rifles that use a Picatinny-style interface. Its role is simple but important: it creates a solid foundation for mounting compatible rings or sight mounts, so the optic remains secure during transport, recoil and repeated range sessions. Because it uses the widely adopted Weaver / Picatinny cross-slot format, it suits a broad range of optics setups, from conventional riflescopes to compact red dot sights.

The base uses a steel body, which is especially relevant on a mount component because stiffness and resistance to wear matter as much as low weight. A rigid base helps the optic stay aligned with the rifle, and it also stands up better to repeated installation and removal of mounted accessories. The 6.20 mm BH height keeps the assembly relatively low, which can improve head position behind the optic and reduce the excessive height-over-bore that often comes with taller mounting solutions.

This model is also intended for a defined list of compatible rifles, including platforms from Accuracy International, Anschutz, Baikal, Benelli, Beretta and CZ. That model-specific approach is valuable in practice because it supports proper fit at the mounting surface rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all solution. For shooters building a practical hunting rifle, a range setup or a general-purpose optics platform, this base provides the durable interface needed to take advantage of the flexibility of Picatinny-compatible mounts.

About Optilock

Optilock is Sako’s line of rifle scope mounts, bases, and rings, created to complement the company’s rifle platforms with dedicated optic-mounting solutions. The system is associated with Sako and Tikka rifles and reflects the same emphasis on practical field use, secure fit and dependable mechanical function. Across the range, Optilock products are made in versions suited to different mounting standards, including dovetail and Picatinny-compatible bases, so they can support both traditional riflescope installations and more flexible modern optics setups.

A key part of the Optilock concept is the use of machined steel components, including versions made from CrMo alloy or stainless steel, to provide the strength expected from recoil-bearing mounting hardware. In the ring systems, polymer inserts are used around the scope tube to distribute clamping force more evenly and help protect the optic’s finish. That combination of secure retention and careful scope handling is what has made the Optilock name closely associated with robust rifle mounting solutions.
