Frequently Asked Questions

Does the set include one ring or a pair?

Product code S1300961 refers to a set consisting of two Medium height rings. Although the product name may include the word "ring," a pair is included for scope mounting.

Do 25.4 mm and 1" mean the same size?

Yes. One inch is exactly 25.4 mm. These rings are often also called 25 mm rings, but they are made for 1" or 25.4 mm main tube scopes.

What is the difference between model S1300961 and S1300924?

S1300961 is the Medium height version with a height of 35.5 mm. S1300924 is the Low version with a height of 30.5 mm. Medium rings leave 5 mm more space between the scope and the rifle.

Are Medium rings suitable for a scope with a large objective?

They provide more clearance than Low rings, but suitability cannot be determined by the objective diameter marked on the scope alone. You must check the actual outer diameter of the objective housing, base height, and barrel profile.

Are Optilock bases included in the set?

No. This is only a ring set. Optilock bases suitable for the rifle model and rail type must be selected separately.

Are the rings compatible with the Optilock dovetail base S13269738?

Yes. S1300961 rings are compatible with the traditional Optilock base system, including the Tikka and suitable Sako rifle dovetail base S13269738.

Do these rings attach directly to a Picatinny rail?

No. The rings must be attached to suitable Optilock bases. For use with a Picatinny rail, you need the appropriate Optilock base set or rings designed specifically for Picatinny rails.

What are polymer inserts used for?

Polymer inserts help align the scope in the rings, distribute clamping pressure more evenly, and reduce the risk of damaging the surface finish of the main tube.

When is Optilock Sako/Tikka Medium 25.4 mm the right choice?

The Medium version is suitable when the scope has a 25.4 mm main tube and Low rings would not leave enough space for the objective, scope covers, or barrel. It is often a balanced choice when extra clearance is needed without raising the optic unnecessarily high.

For a low-profile scope, the 30.5 mm high Low version may offer a more natural cheek weld. For very large objective housings, high barrels, or bulky protective covers, High rings may be required. If the scope main tube is 30 or 34 mm, a ring set with the corresponding diameter must be chosen.

Expert recommendation

Medium height should not be chosen automatically just because the scope has a large objective. Measure the widest part of the objective housing and take into account the Optilock base used, barrel profile, and possible scope covers. The ideal ring height leaves sufficient clearance but keeps the optic as low as possible.

Before finally tightening the screws, set the eye relief in your usual shooting position and ensure that the bolt handle, magnification ring, and scope covers move freely. Tighten the screws gradually and to the torque recommended by the manufacturer. Polymer inserts help protect and align the scope but do not correct problems caused by incorrect height or unsuitable bases.

After mounting the optic, the rifle should be zeroed at the range. After the first shooting sessions, check the mount for stability, but avoid over-tightening the screws.

Medium height Optilock rings for 1" scopes

Optilock S1300961 combines a diameter suitable for 25.4 mm scopes, 35.5 mm medium height, and a strong steel construction. It is a suitable choice when Low rings are not enough, but the extra height of a High mount is not necessary.
