Description
This is a two-piece steel scope base from Talley built specifically for the Sako long action family, covering the IV, V, L61R, L691, and M995 receivers. If you shoot a classic Sako and want a mount you can set once and forget, this is the kind of base that does the job without drama. The blued steel finish matches up nicely with traditional Sako bluing, keeping the whole rig looking clean and purposeful.
What Makes the Talley Sako Base Hold Zero
Every Talley base is machined from solid bar stock, so you are not dealing with thin stamped metal that flexes under pressure. The real trick is the double recoil shoulder design, which locks the rings against movement even when you are running magnum loads. That rigidity is exactly what keeps your crosshairs where you left them shot after shot, which matters a lot on hard-kicking hunting rifles.
Fitting the Sako IV, V, L61R, L691, M995 Setup
These bases mount to the Sako receiver and are designed to work with Talley rings only, so you will want to pair them with either Talley fixed or quick-detachable rings to complete the mount. That two-part system gives you flexibility on ring height and style while keeping the whole platform consistent and repeatable. Each base is checked and rechecked at the factory to dial in the best possible fit to your rifle, which is a nice bit of quality control for a part that your whole optic setup rides on.
Why Sako Owners Reach for Talley
Talley has a long reputation among hunters and precision guys for mounting hardware that just works. Made in the USA, these bases are the kind of upgrade that pays off the first time you take a long shot and trust your zero. For anyone running an older Sako long action and tired of fiddly mounting solutions, this is a straightforward, bombproof answer.

Frequently Asked Questions
What rifles does this Talley base fit?
This base is machined specifically for the Sako long action family, including the IV, V, L61R, L691, and M995 receivers. It is not designed for Sako short actions or the Model 85, so make sure your rifle falls into the long action group before ordering.
Can I use standard Weaver or Picatinny rings on the Talley Sako base?
No. This base system is built to work with Talley rings only, either the fixed or quick-detachable style. You will need to pair it with a set of Talley rings to complete your mount.
Will this base hold zero on a magnum caliber Sako?
Yes. The double recoil shoulder design and solid bar stock construction are made to keep your scope locked down under heavy recoil. Talley bases are a popular choice precisely because they hold zero through lots of rounds on hard-kicking rifles.
Does the Talley Sako base come as a pair?
Yes, it ships as a two-piece set, giving you both the front and rear base needed to mount your rings. Mounting set screws are included so you have what you need to get it installed.
