PH12-RAILS – Picatinny Rail for Sako 85 S/M

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). This is the Extended Version designed to be used with scopes such as night vision, which need to be mounted rearwards for better eye relief.

• Picatinny rail is specifically designed to fit on Sako 85 Medium.
• Contessa Picatinny rails in hardened steel are machined from solid, designed to guarantee stability and long-term resistance.
• 60 mm rear extension to mount thermal or night vision devices.
• Screws and a wrench for mounting are supplied.

You can’t always tell which size Sako action you have from the caliber, so to check which rail fits your rifle, all you need to do is measure the length between your two bases, i.e. measure the length of your ejection port.
If it’s approx. 56mm you need the Sako X-Short Rail
74mm you need the Sako Short Rail.
If it’s approx. 84mm you need the Sako Medium Rail.
If it’s approx. 94mm you need the Sako Long Rail.

Distance Spacing: (distances between bases)
30mm (Dovetail Base) / 66 – 90mm / 31mm (Dovetail Base)

Extension Rearwards: – 65mm
Distance between Bases: – 66 – 90mm

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 66-90mm 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.
