Optilock Tikka Base, Stainless Steel

• Steel construction: The base is made from steel, giving the scope mounting system the rigidity needed to hold zero under recoil and repeated field use.
• Stainless steel finish: The stainless configuration suits rifles used in wet or variable weather, helping the mounting setup better match corrosion-resistant hunting rifles.
• Low 8.00 mm BH height: A low base height helps keep the optic closer to the bore, which supports a more natural cheek weld and a more stable shooting position.
• Built for Tikka and related actions: This base is designed for compatible Tikka-pattern rifles, providing a secure interface without improvised adapters or universal-fit compromises.
• Optilock system compatibility: As part of the Optilock mounting system, the base is intended to work with matching Optilock rings for a solid, rifle-specific scope installation.

About the Optilock Series

The Optilock series is Sako’s dedicated family of scope mounts, bases and rings for Sako and Tikka rifles. Within the lineup, Optilock products are aimed at shooters who want a rifle-specific mounting solution rather than a generic rail-and-ring combination. The system is widely associated with hunting rifles, where repeatable zero, secure clamping and clean fit matter as much as low overall weight and practical handling.

A defining feature of the series is the use of polymer inserts in Optilock rings, which help distribute clamping force more evenly around the scope tube and reduce the risk of marking the optic. The bases and rings are also known for their machined steel construction, offered in versions including stainless steel, to provide a rigid foundation between rifle and scope. Across the range, Optilock bases are made for compatible receiver interfaces such as dovetail and Picatinny-style platforms, allowing the system to serve traditional hunting rifles as well as more modern rifle configurations.

About the Optilock Tikka Base, Stainless Steel

The Optilock Tikka Base, Stainless Steel is a fixed scope base made for shooters who want a durable, rifle-specific mounting platform on compatible Tikka and related actions. Its role is straightforward but important: it creates the solid lower half of the mounting system, so the rings and scope can stay aligned when the rifle is carried, fired and handled in the field. For hunting optics, that kind of mechanical stability is essential because even a high-quality scope cannot perform properly if the base underneath it shifts or flexes.

This model uses steel construction, which is valued for stiffness and long-term durability. In practice, that means a more secure foundation for the optic and better resistance to wear from repeated installation and recoil. The stainless steel version is particularly well suited to rifles used in damp forests, mountain weather or late-season conditions, where a corrosion-resistant setup is a sensible choice. Its 8.00 mm BH height helps keep the optic mounted low, which can improve head position behind the scope and make the rifle feel more natural when shooting from field positions.

Because it belongs to the Optilock mounting system, this base is intended to be paired with matching Optilock rings. That gives the shooter a coherent mounting setup designed around compatible rifle interfaces, with the practical benefit of a cleaner fit and dependable scope support on classic Tikka hunting rifles and selected Sako-compatible platforms.

About Optilock

Optilock is Sako’s line of riflescope mounts, bases and rings, developed specifically for Sako and Tikka rifles. The range is focused on giving these rifles a dedicated optical mounting system rather than relying on universal parts. A key feature within the Optilock concept is the use of polymer inserts in the rings, which spread clamping pressure around the scope tube and help protect the optic from unnecessary marking.

The product family includes rings in different diameters and heights for different scope sizes, along with bases for compatible interfaces such as dovetail and Picatinny rails. Across the line, steel construction is central to the design, with versions machined from CrMo alloy or stainless steel. That emphasis on rifle-specific fit, scope protection and mechanical strength has made Optilock a familiar choice for traditional hunting rifle setups.
