I have a Sako Forester (L579) that is currently topless. I ran across a set of Refield bases the just slide onto the Sako grooved bases giving you the standard base for Redfield, Burris, Leupold type rings. I put the bases on and there is no way to secure them except with friction. No set screws, nothing. Is there anyone familiar with these type of mounts? The only way I can see they will work is to take a brass hammer and drive them on really hard. The Sako grooved receiver is angled so that recoil will drive them on tighter. Any help would be appreciated.
