Burris DD-bases for Sako

[Bo Petersson]

I use a Sako rifle to shoot benchrest in a national class we have in Sweden. Having some problems with several types of scope mounts I finaly found Burris DD-bases to be the strongest and most reliable mounts for Sako rifles together with DD-rings without plastic inserts. I use Leupold rings.
The design of the mounts is really good. They are strong, have no screws that can become loose and they are easy to align perfectly. The mounts are also close to parallel with the barrel. My experience from four different rifles is very good in that respect.

I used to buy these bases from Midway Sweden but Sako Sweden forced them to stop selling them. Then, two years ago, I contacted a local dealer and ordered 3 pairs instead of 1 pair of Burris bases because I expected problems. After five months I got wrong type of bases.
Since I have been in contact with the dealer, with Sako Sweden and also Burris US and been told I will have them with the next shipping from US.

Last week I was in contact with Sako Sweden again and now they tell me that Burris no longer makes these bases and there are no bases available.

Perhaps there are dealers in US who still have them.
Are there anyone who can help me to get some Burris DD-bases, DD-Sako #410587 ?

Do a Google search

If you do a Gogle search for, say, Gun accessory dealers you will find a number of them I'll bet. Perhaps they can direct you to some bigger stocking dealers that may have what you are looking for or go to Ebay and look there.
