This Steel Picatinny Rail is precision made by Contessa Alessandro & C. s.n.c. The mount is precision made to fit the Sako Tapered Dovetail System. Supplied as components, the separate bases are mounted to the rifle and locked in place with vertical locking screws (we do suggest giving the bases a firm tap with a plastic hammer to make sure they're fitted on fully).
Then the picatinny rail is attached to the bases using the screws provided. As the picatinny rail is adjustable in length, provided the bases on your Sako are between 50-73mm apart, the rail will be able to fit.
Fitting:
The independent front and rear bases slide onto the Sako dovetails, then are tightened to the action using locking screws from the top of the base. Once the bases are fitted, the length of picatinny fits over the top of them and is screwed on to the bases to secure them in place. Using thread locker adhesive to ensure the screws don't loosen under recoil can be used if required.

Just purchased the chromed version of their adjustable Picatinny rail to fit on to my Sako 85. With the receiver/barrel being stainless I just thought that the chromed version would look better when mounted than the black version. It does look very nice hence after fitting the rail I then calculated the height of the 30mm scope rings which I required so that the 56mm objective lens would just clear the barrel. Hence subsequently purchase their 8mm high Contessa rings also in chromed steel.
I also recommend watching the videos on Youtube as they give lots of informative information on the subject of mounts and scope mounting. Excellent on both price and delivery and would recommend.
