- The unique scope mount of Sako S20 provides strong hold for a rigid scope. With a variety of different heights and ring sizes, and the possibility to install the scope mounts to different spots in the base, you can make it fit any need.

Just bought today 10/17/2023 Sako S20 on 7 mm I’m so happy. Thanks Sako. Had another one M39 Sako barrel
Set of LOW 34mm rings fits perfectly with my new Schmidt&Bender T96 Polar 4-16x56. Thank You SAKO :)
(Height of 34mm LOW rings with base = 29.5 mm)
Plum line is best for leveling your scope
The only part of this riffle that is questionable. Please make in next versions full length pikatini rail with 20moa tilt. It would be perfection.
I'd be interested to know what issues in current scope mounting systems this new scope mount was developed to address.
Accessory sales...
1. Mounting rings directly to S20 is 0 MOA. The Optilock base can be purchased with a 20 MOA incline which is better for long range precision shooters.
2. Scope position is limited mounting directly because of the limited rails. The Optilock base option allows more flexibility in scope position.
I've been using a Zeiss Conquest V4 6-24x50 with 30mm Warne Maxima Medium (214M) rings mounted directly to my Sako S20 300 Win Mag with good results, The bell of the scope is 3/16" above the barrel which is good (maybe a tad close). My primary issue is scope position -- I'd like to pull the scope back a little, but I can't because the S20 rail is so limited. So I bought the 20 MOA Optilock S20 base and Medium 30mm Optilock Rings (sold in pairs off Beretta USA's website). This configuration should be ideal for my Zeiss with 50mm objective, and also have just enough clearance for a 56mm objective if I choose to do that in the future. And I gain more elevation clicks with the 20 MOA base.
@richardharris8273 thanks for the explanation. I just bought the S20 in 7 mag and was wondering about this. I'm going to be using it for hunting so I'm going to try to just use the 0 MOA that's built in since I won't be shooting over 500 yards if a coyote is crossing a field.
what are torque specs on all of the screws, mount, rings?
Nice tutorial 👍
Just put a set of the low rings on my new Sako 90 Varmint 🤟
My Blaser 2-12x50 scope fits perfectly with the low rings on my S20, some space is left between scope and barrel. Maybe this is helpful for someone.
it does. thanks
Cette carabine est un bijoux
Cant find this mount for sale anywhere
Does anyone know which size LOW or MID of 34mm rings will be appropriate for 56mm scope? I wrote an e-mail to SAKO but recived no answer. They don't care about clients :(
Hi, We actually do care about our clients. Take the LOW ones.
@@Sakointernational wow! Thank you for very fast answer on CZcams😀. Now I will finally be able to start deer hunting season on time!
With kind hunting greetings from Poland!
TiborKomes!
Bought #2 S-20 hunter and per. would rather skip extra stuff and keep it simple ? lol over 3,500 and counting? I love my Sakos
Hi Did the low ones work well?@@Tibor-Komes
@@BBSlats Set of LOW 34mm rings fits perfectly with Schmidt&Bender T96 Polar 4-16x56. (Objective outer diameter 62mm)
Hello, tell me if there will be butts on the s20 under the left hand. The shooter is left-handed.
@Sakointernational can you provide what size rings would be needed on a S20 with 30mm rings on a 5-25x50 scope using the 20MOA rail?
Hey did you ever find this out. I am thinking med? But have no idea lol
Does any one know if this rifle will ever be manufactured in a let handed configuration?
I'm left hand and it's no problem, with the precision stock . It's sweet ,the hunter stock has a palm swell for righthand so it don't really work .
Do these scope rings use inserts? The video didn’t use any…
If you mean plastic inserts like in old, steel OptiLock then the answer is no, they don't.
Where can I get this exact base mount??
What type of mount is that
That was steiner ranger 3-12x56🤔 how about the scope rings low or mid?
Did you even find out if it's low or mid? Have the same issue... need to know the vertical distance between top of picatinny rail to the place on the barrel where the objective of the scope will be. Cant find that anywhere!
@@ehaldruperiksen noup, im going gunshop tomorrow and fit both low and mid high mounts.
@@Groundshark23 cool - I bought a Sako S20 Precision yesterday, but don't have the gun at hand - and would like to start shopping for mounts where my current 3-12x56 scope will fit. But it's just hard to figure out which'll fit! :-)
which were the right ones?
Hallo,
Ist das ein Low, Medium, oder High Ring?
Ich möchte ein Swarovski Z8i 2,3-18x56 montieren auf mein Sako S20, mit der selber Montage wie im Video.
Welcher Ring soll ich kaufen, Low, oder Medium?
Möchte die Zielfernrohr so flach wie möglich montieren.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Aus Austria
Hast du mittlerweile herausgefunden welche Ringe man benötigt? Stehe vor dem gleichen Problem!
Hallo!
Ich habe dann noch doch ein andere Zielfernrohr entschieden. Leica Prs 5-30x56, mit 36 Mittelrohr Durchmesser.
Habe dann die Medium Ringe geholt von Sako, und die passen Perfecht, sogar die Wärmebild Vorsatzgerät geht es sich perfecht aus, (Night Pearl 35 Elite) so, das noch ausreichend genug luftraum bleibt zwischen lauf.
Bin zufrieden, was das Stabilitet, und Hochwertugkeit, und slles rund um Montage betrifft.

In English what Felix Faigle wrote in reply:
Have you figured out which rings you need in the meantime? Face the same problem!
And the reply back to Zsolt Horvath from Felix Faigle:
Hello! I then decided on a different rifle scope. Leica Prs 5-30x56, with a 36 center tube diameter. Then I got the medium rings from Sako, and they fit perfectly, even the thermal image attachment is perfect, (Night Pearl 35 Elite) so that there is still enough air space between runs. I'm satisfied with the stability, high quality, and everything related to assembly. Lg
I think that music made me sterile.
😂😂
Great News!! the world is SAVED from you breeding
I don’t understand why in 2020 Sako do not produce this S20 Hunter for left shooter...18% of the world population are left handed...
Music was overwhelming
Only a muppet levels the scope from the turret top. The turrets are never perfectly perpendicular to the vertical crosshair.
So what should be done?
Use a plum line so a string with a weight on the end. Make sure your rifle is level.
This is fool proof.
What r the tork spec s for those basses and rings .for the s20 ? So y have the comments on if u don't acknowledge them .
According to the Sako instructions that came with my S20 Optilock base and rings:
Attachment Screw Torque Settings
Recoil Stopper = 11 in-lbs [1,2 Nm]
Lower Ring = 26 in-lbs [2,9 Nm]
Base = 50 in-lbs [5,7 Nm]
Upper Ring = 15 in-lbs [1,7 Nm]
Hope that helps!
