Hi all,
First post here. I'm looking to get into long range shooting seriously and picking up a SAKO TRG 22 .308. For my optics I have a thing for Leupold and am thinking along the lines of a Mark 4 30mm tube scope either in 4.5-14x50 or 6.5-20x50. I'd like the higher magnification of the 20x but am worried I might be limiting myself since the 20x's elevation range is only 70MOA whereas the 14x's is 100MOA.
This brings me to the point of the TRG mounting platform. Previously I've used friends' Rem 700's and Savage 10FP's for which it's easy to find 20-25MOA canted rails from Leupold. The SAKO has integrated scope rails but I have no idea if they have any inclination. Their inclination seems to be built into their fancy 3piece ring assembly rather than the rail which I don't even know if it'll work with the scope I have in mind. I also see SAKO refers to these rails as "proprietary" sometimes. To me they look like dead standard 17mm dovetails. Can I even clamp on regular rings on here? and if so how do I cant it downward by 20-30MOA?
I'm in Italy and everything costs 50-70% more here so I'm trying to have a friend pick up all the optics and accessories on his trip to the US next month. I have to special order the rifle so I can't visually check what I need so I was hoping someone would know.
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Greg
