Optilock Tikka Base

• Steel construction: The base is made from steel for the rigidity needed to keep a riflescope securely aligned under recoil, helping preserve zero and repeatable accuracy over time.
• Low-profile 8.00 mm BH height: A restrained mounting height helps keep the optic closer to the bore, which supports a more natural cheek weld and a more consistent shooting position.
• Built for Optilock mounting systems: Designed as part of the Optilock platform, this base provides a stable interface for compatible rings, making it a practical choice for dependable hunting optics installation.
• Made for specific Tikka and Sako actions: Model-specific fit matters in scope mounting, and this base is intended for a defined group of compatible rifles to ensure proper seating and secure attachment.
• Finnish manufacture: Made in Finland, the base follows the same practical design approach associated with Sako and Tikka rifle accessories, with emphasis on durability and precise fit.

About the Optilock Series

Optilock is Sako’s line of scope mounts, bases, and rings, developed for shooters who want a secure and mechanically consistent way to mount optics on Sako and Tikka rifles. Within the broader rifle accessory range, the series is positioned as a robust steel mounting solution rather than a lightweight universal system. That focus makes it especially relevant for hunting rifles and practical field use, where repeatable zero and long-term durability matter more than quick changes or minimal weight.

A defining characteristic of the series is its use of machined steel components and model-specific interfaces. Optilock bases are offered for compatible rifle attachment systems, including dovetail and Picatinny-style solutions, while the ring range covers different tube diameters and heights to suit a wide spread of scopes. In ring-equipped configurations, polymer inserts help distribute clamping force around the scope tube and reduce the risk of marking the optic. Taken together, the Optilock concept emphasizes secure alignment, protection of the scope body, and a mounting geometry tailored to the rifle rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

About the Optilock Tikka Base

The Optilock Tikka Base is a fixed steel scope base intended for shooters using compatible older Tikka and Sako rifle actions who want a stable foundation for a traditional riflescope setup. As a mounting base, its job is straightforward but critical: it creates the interface between the rifle and the Optilock ring system, and that interface has a direct effect on how securely the optic stays in place during recoil, transport, and repeated use in the field.

The practical advantage of this model lies in its steel construction and its 8.00 mm BH height. Steel gives the base the stiffness needed for dependable clamping and resistance to wear at the contact surfaces, which is important for maintaining alignment over time. The relatively low build helps keep the scope mounted close to the receiver, supporting a more natural head position and improving consistency from shot to shot. That matters on hunting rifles, where a stable cheek weld often contributes as much to usable accuracy as the optic itself.

This base is also valuable because it is made for a defined set of compatible rifles rather than a generic platform. That model-specific approach helps ensure proper fit on rifles such as the Tikka M55, M65, M590, M595, M690, and M695, along with selected Sako TRG and Lynx models. For shooters building a reliable hunting optics setup on these actions, the base provides the solid starting point the rest of the mounting system depends on.

About Optilock

Optilock is Sako’s dedicated family of riflescope mounting products, created for use with Sako and Tikka rifles. The range includes bases, rings, and related mounting solutions, with an emphasis on precise fit and secure optic attachment. A key part of the system is its use of steel construction, including versions machined from CrMo alloy or stainless steel, which suits the demands of hunting rifles and repeated field use.

Within the Optilock concept, the best-known technical detail is the use of polymer inserts in the rings. These inserts help spread clamping force more evenly around the scope tube and reduce the chance of marking the optic during installation. The line is offered in different diameters, heights, and interface types so it can be matched to different scopes and rifle actions. That practical, rifle-specific approach has made Optilock a recognized mounting solution for shooters using Sako and Tikka platforms.
