[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1134645, member: 74902"] Looks like McMillan makes the Hunters Edge for a Sako 75. For western long range, I'd up it to a 300 WSM and shoot the heavier berger 210 VLD or maybe even the 215 Berger. Talleys are nice, as long as you have a scope that can dial the distance without a 20 MOA rail. I shoot a 300 WSM with Berger 210 at 2880 FPS. For a 800 yard shot at 5500 feet elevation I need 16.5 MOA and have Velocity of 1975 FPS and energy of 1820 ft-lbs. That should be plenty for elk sized game. If I use a Vortex 30mm scope, I should have about 35 MOA of upward elevation adjustment. So I don't need a rail. [/QUOTE]
