These Sako Optilock Bases will work for that action. These models are the extended models and the M995 Action can use both the long and extended models.

TJ, guest, from NM, United States, asked on February 14, 2021

What bases do I need for my Sako 85m .270? Extended, medium or short action models? Also what rings for a one inch tube 4x16x42 scope?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Nick B., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on October 29, 2021

The 85M can use either the Long or Extended bases. For a scope with a 42mm objective, you will need medium height rings. The rings that are compatible with these bases can be found here: https://www.opticsplanet.com/sako-optilock-rings.html

Frank, guest, from Zaragoza, Spain, asked on December 02, 2017

What bases for a sako85 hunter with a Long Action (300 WM) and a relatively short scope (STEINER RANGER 1-4x24) ? I am not sure if Long or Extended

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Ethan C., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on December 20, 2017

Because that's a magnum round, a bit longer than normal long action, you would need the extended bases: https://www.opticsplanet.com/sako-optilock-base.html?_iv_additional-features=extended-action-base-only. For that scope, you would then need these rings: https://www.opticsplanet.com/sako-optilock-rings.html?_iv_tube-diameter=30-mm&_iv_ring-height=super-low
