15-17mm dovetail is tailored for rifles with integral standard dovetails like the Sako 90 series—these mounts won’t fit narrower dovetails or Picatinny/Weaver bases.
-
20mm base-to-ring-bottom height gives a total ring centre height of 35mm, offering mid-to-high clearance—ideal for scopes with medium to large objective bells while keeping a good cheek weld.
-
Being a 2-piece design, the HTO96 allows flexible positioning and keeps access open to top-loading or bolt actions. This is especially useful on rifles with fixed magazines or manual loading requirements.
-
The removable arrester pin provides an added recoil-stop option for rifles where heavier scopes or calibres are used—helping prevent mount creep under repeated firing.

Calculating Scope to Rifle Clearance:

Approx Guide:
- 40mm objectives - fits easily
- 50mm objectives - even with AO - fits well
- 56mm objectives - generally fits (depending on barrel profile)
General rule: these are designed to handle up to around 56mm objective scopes on most setups
Fit can vary slightly with rifle rail height or barrel contour—always confirm.

Will this fit my rifle?
Only if your rifle has a 15–17mm dovetail rail (e.g. Sako 90).
What is a 15–17mm dovetail?
It’s a wider, proprietary rail system found on certain rifles like Sako and Tikka. It is not the same as standard air rifle dovetail rails.
Will this fit Picatinny or Weaver rails?
No. This mount is specifically for dovetail rails of this size only.
What size scope does this fit?
30mm tube scopes only.
What objective size will these clear?
Typically up to around 56mm on most rifles, depending on barrel profile and rail position.
What does “high” mean here?
Approximately 35mm from rail to scope centre - a good balance between clearance and shooting position.
Why use 2-piece mounts?
They allow flexible positioning and better access to the rifle’s loading area or bolt.
What is the arrestor pin for?
It helps prevent movement under recoil by locating into the rifle’s rail or action.
Can I use these on air rifles?
Only if the rifle has a 15–17mm dovetail (most air rifles use 9–11mm, so these usually won’t fit).
Key Takeaway
If you have a Sako 90 with integral 15–17mm dovetail, these give a proper, secure fit with the right height for most common scope setups - no adapters, no compromise.
