Talley Manufacturing Sako Short, L461, L579, S491, M591, I, Ii, Iii, Blue
The Talley Manufacturing Sako scope mount base is engineered for shooters who demand rock-solid optics stability on their Sako rifle. Built to Talley's exacting standards, this blue finish base fits Sako short-action models including the L461, L579, S491, and M591, as well as Sako I, II, and III actions. If you're mounting glass on a Sako and need a foundation you can trust under recoil, this is the real deal.
What sets Talley bases apart is their machined saddle design—precision-milled to ensure your rings sit flush and don't shift when the gun fires. The dual recoil shoulders built into the base design lock the rings in place under heavy recoil, eliminating the flex and creep that can throw off your zero. Whether you're hunting elk at distance or shooting groups on the range, that immobility matters.
The base accepts both fixed Talley rings and Talley's quick-detach (QD) rings, so you can choose your mounting style based on your hunting or shooting setup. The blue finish is corrosion-resistant and matches Sako's classic look. This is a no-nonsense piece of steel—made in the USA, built to last, and designed by folks who understand what happens when a rifle recoils.
