Just finished a build on a sako l61r action. Not much selection as far as bases. Has anyone used the valdadas?? Also was looking at near mfg?? But looks like the only way to order is through the mail. Any body use them??
 
I've used a 34minute IOR base on my LapMag for half a dozen years. No issues whatsoever. I believe they were built by an American mfg. for Valdada but I disremember which one. Scott at LO would most likely know. Also nothing wrong with Near. FN bolted them on their SPR's.
 
I have used Valdadas mount (mine was built in turkey), near mfg and also us optic base on my sako m995 trg-s build. I would say near mfg is the most heavy duty, followed by US optic base. I was not happy with my Valdadas mount.
 
Near MFG is fantastic stuff. I would say even nicer than Spuhr. Very, very well machined. Good people too.
