Re: Thor scope base and rings
I couldnt find Sako bases and rings in Bloem, so I bought the ones from Thor, thinking that I would replace them as soon as I could find "decent" rings and bases. Two years later and the Thors' are still going strong without any problems.

Re: Thor scope base and rings
If I remember right the Guy's name is Eric. He really does good work. If you can't get bases for your rifle you just take it to him and he makes them for you. He is near Bapsfontein just outside Pretoria. And what I like about this guy is he has special "allenkeys" because those little cap screws you get are easy to strip, his are a perfect fit

Re: Thor scope base and rings
When looking for rings and bases for my pre-64 Winchester, I heard many good things about Thor's products. So I ordered them, but the quality was very very poor. The one hole was drilled completely off-centre. So I returned them for another set....and then I saw that one of the new rings had a spot without blueing and one of the screws were missing. The 3rd set was good. These rings/bases are copies of the Lynx/Tasco design, so they should work well but just check your set properly before fitting.

Re: Thor scope base and rings
Recieved my Thor base and rings for the Steyr Mannlicher 375 S bull barrel yesterday and the quality looks good, rings are a bit narrow.
Hope the mechanism can stand up to the recoil.

Re: Thor scope base and rings
Hi Wesson
Let us know how you go with fitting them and your impressions of how they handle the recoil of your dreadnaught.
It seems like Thor have taken comments about quality and workmanship on board, I have always been impressed with the finish and found that the bluing on them is a much better quality that than (even) the Sako ones that I had on my Sako 270Win.
I recently changed the scope on the said .270Win and found that the Sako rings were ever so slightly (+-1mm) too low for the objective lens. You guessed it, I have put Thor's onto the rifle and am very happy with them. I now have 3 rifles with Thor bases and rings on them, and two rifles with Thor triggers - I am really happy with the products. tup
BTW anybody out there with a .303 with the k@k original trigger and not happy with it, the Thor trigger made a huge improvement to the shootability of my SMLE No4Mk1. Their K98 trigger seem to have become the standard in RSA. tup
I look forward to hearing your comments, Wesson. ???
Sweet
