Anyone know of any mounts / rails for sale in Canada?
May have to order from Euro Optic but thought I would ask here beforehand. Thanks for any leads!
 
just get the contessa picatinny rail for the 303. The OEM ISI mount is expensive for what it is.

The description of 'newer' 303s used to be copy + pasted (presumably from Sauer?) to say that it used the same mounts as the 404 (SUM). I have never seen one in Canada, and had reached out to the distributor a few years ago to confirm that they did NOT use the SUM. It would be neat if you could swap the QD from your 404 to your 303. The SUM mount actually works pretty well.
I had gotten a 404 pic rail from MDCharlton via Prophet River a few years back but returned it because it was an odd (and unwanted) 25 MOA.

Thanks for the reply!

I believe Sauer stopped the ISI mount on the 303 in 2019 and now uses the SUM (same as the 404)
I'll know today the rifle is being delivered by Canada Post. I admit it is a bit confusing and I am new to the 303/404 game.
I did speak with Contessa in Italy a few days ago and they put me in touch with the US distributor. I am hoping I can get a SUM mount in aluminum whereas the Contessa is a rather heavy block of hardened steel. It's an option though (at about $250 Canadian!) I don't mind spending a little more to get a lighter weight QD mount. I backpack in the mountains and the Sauer is heavy enough lol. Just try to trim where I can. Knees aren't getting any younger. ;)
 
Optics Trade in Slovenia is easy to order from. I've bought scopes and mounts from them. They carry a huge variety of European mounts, including contessa.
