Where would a person find screws for Sako rings?
Preferably in Canada.
Let me know, thanks

Sako Optilock Screws?

I've stripped and replaced Sako screws, here's my suggestion. When Stoeger sends you new screws, Install them with a torque limiting screwdriver. I now use a Wheeler "fat" screwdriver and it works very well and no chance of stripping the soft hex socket on the Sako screws. I don't recall the recommended in-lb of torque but it can be looked up on the net.

This is not the first time I've heard about the swiss cheese screws that Sako uses on their scope mounts/rings. I had a high-end Sako QD scope mount that I sold on EE. Turns out the buyer tried to remove the rings and had one hell of a time. It could be a combination of factory loctite and soft metal? I don't know, but I can assure you there are harder screws on the market.
