Valmet 412S

About the Valmet

The company Valmet has produced almost everything throughout history; church bells, trains, underwear, washing machines, ammunition, ships, paper machines, tractor machines, computers and aircraft. The name of the company comes from several metal workshops owned by the Finnish state, which were merged to form the Valtion Metallitehtaat (English: State Metalworks), abbreviated as ValMet.

The company’s engineering industry flourished at the start of the 20th century thanks to Russia’s military reparation orders because of the Russo-Japanese War and soon after because of the needs of the World War I. In 1986, Valmet's gun manufacturing unit in Jyväskylä was transferred under Sako-Valmet Oy, which was later renamed to Sako Oy. The old company’s gun manufacturing unit is owned by the Italian gun manufacturer Beretta since 2000, while the rest of the Valmet Corporation got restructured in 2013 and is now focused on pulp and paper production.

Valmet 412S Rifle Review

Valmet 412S break action rifle has come in many variations through the years. At first it was produced by the Valmet company as Valmet 412S, then as Tikka 412S and lastly as FinnClassic when the manufacturing shifted to Italian company Marocchi after Beretta group took over Tikka and Sako. Valmet 412S, which was the first of these rifles, is based on Remington Model 32.

Tikka 412S has the option to have 12 g barrel over and under, combination of shotgun barrel top, rifle barrel bottom or a double rifle barrel combination. The shotgun barrel is chambered for 12 gauge 2 3/4" with a choice of 26" (66 cm), 28" (71,1 cm) or 30" (76,2 cm) length of the barrels. The rifle barrel is chambered for .308 Winchester, 30-06, 7.62x54R and 9.3x74R. For mounting purpose, it has a 12 mm dovetail with a transverse recoil notch.

Our recommendation for mounts

Since this is a break action rifle, we would recommend you to equip it with extended mounts, which would in most cases provide you with the most optimal eye relief.

Fixed mounts:

One of the most appropriate fixed mounts would be this Kozap mount, as it is placed in the perfect price range for this rifle.

Detachable repeatable mounts:

The price of this INNOmount is somewhere in the middle, but an advantage compared to other detachable mounts is clamping mechanism, which ensures better repeatability.

Picatinny rails:

We would recommend INNOmount Picatinny rail, as it is one of the few that would fit this rifle.

Help us build our riflescope mounts database

If you have this rifle or any other rifle at home, we would really appreciate it if you could send us some photos of the rifle receiver (mounting surface of the rifle when there are no mounts installed), because it would help us expand our rifle mounts database. If you send us a photo of rifle receiver which we don’t already have, that would be of great value to us and we will definitely reward you for your help.

Please send us an email for more information. You can contact us here: info@optics-trade.eu
