A gun buddy of mine got himself a nice L46, he’s had it for a while. He recently decided to get it out and shoot it, but he was having trouble with the scope mounts?!?

That's nowhere near as bad. A 6-48 hole isn't huge, and you can put in a filler screw. If you're handy with a file and the hole and the checkering are oriented just right, you could even score the top of the filler screw to match the checkering, hit it with cold blue, and that would partially camouflage the damage. The value of the gun would still be affected, but maybe not too much. Not a thing you can do with the bridges on my custom, unless someone with advanced skills were to fill them in with silver solder and then finish them off to match the contour and checkering. Not a task I would take on.it had been drilled and tapped, hidden under the ring mounts .
The same could be said for B&L/Kuharsky, Stith, Conetrol, EAW, Australian Tasco, and Optilock mounts. For that matter, Weaver mounts also cover the damage, but I know that you and I are in agreement that the Weaver mounts for Sako are an abomination.One of the good things about the Redfield-type bases is that they can cover a multitude of sins which have been committed to the dovetails -- including the sins inflicted by their own set screws.
Abomination - “ a thing that causes disgust or hatred”. Sorry, I couldn’t resist.The same could be said for B&L/Kuharsky, Stith, Conetrol, EAW, Australian Tasco, and Optilock mounts.
