Sako ring screws

[shorttrac]

Just wondering if anyone knows where to get replacement screws for older sako rings. I believe they are the same size as the optilock screws and they are 6$ a piece as far as I can tell from Beretta. If anyone knows the size for sure or where to get from somewhere else it would be appreciated.

Westside Stores in Salmon Arm at one time had them in the kitty behind the counter.
New owners now, so no idea.
There is a Gewgle-few site on them for contact info.

Brownells has some screws that fit older Sako rings but it'll depend on the model.

Call your local gun smiths. They generally have lots of spare screws.

there are torx replacement sets available.

fleabay has them for about $20/set shipped

Guys- The only place I am aware of that has the correct screws is a fellow named "tslans@aol.com" on the Sako Collectors Club in the US. I am a moderator on that website. The ring screws he makes are for the old style (1959 to 1972) square shouldered splits. He has had them on Ebay at times. I can recommend them as I have 6 sets of rings with his screws in them. Regards, Mike

Have you tried asking Sako?

I was missing a screw from a Burris ring, I sent them an email on their web site asking where to buy some.

A few days later I got a phone call and a nice lady who asked me what model the rings were and to what address would I like some screws shipped to. (for free!)

Thanks for great service Korth.
