x-low, low or med optilocks? (ziess conq. 44mm obj. on sako 85 finn)

[jamiko]

Just purchased a sako 85 finnlight 300 wsm and was wondering what the ideal optilock ring/base mount is with ziess conquest 3.5 x 10 44mm?

A calipre is your friend.

If you use optilocs, the base might prevent you from mounting the scope as low as you would like, or as far ahead as you need to achieve the proper eye relief. I used Leupold Rings for that reason.

x-low worked for me

 

[Cinch]

extra low will work fine

Yep, Extra low will work. I think I was able to mount a 56mm belled scope in some Lows once (that rifle now wears a scope with 50mm bell with room to spare).
