• Hey All! Lately there has been more and more scammers on the forum board. They register and replies to members requests for guns and/or parts or other things. The reply contains a gmail or hotmail address or similar ”anonymous” email addresses which they want you to reply to. DO NOT ANSWER ANY STRANGE MESSAGES! They often state something like this: ”Hello! Saw your post about purchasing a stock for a Safari. KnuckleheadBob has one. Email him at: [email protected]” If you receive any strange messages: Check the status of whoever message you. If they have no posts and signed up the same day or very recently, stay away. Same goes for other members they might refer to. Check them too and if they are long standing members, PM them and ask if the message is legit. Most likely it’s not. Then use the report function in each message or post so I can kick them out! Beware of anything that might seem fishy! And again, for all of you who registered your personal name as username, please contact me so I can change it to a more anonymous username. You’d be surprised of how much one can find out about a person from just a username on a forum such ad our! All the best! And be safe! Jim

85 Finnlight 30-06 Picatinny rail

I'm new to Sako...and only one real thing has me from pulling the trigger on the Sako 85 30-06. That is the Picatinny rail. Why the Picatinny rail? I want to add to it a new scope the Burris Eliminator III Laser Scope.
The Scope has a 40 MOA.
The Scope also only attaches to a Picatinny Rail or Weaver...but I'd prefer Picatinny Rail.

According to Shooters Calculator a 30-06 180 grain has a 35.64 MOA drop at 1000 yards.

Because of this I am in need of a quality 20 MOA Picatinny Rail for the Sako 85 for 30-06. It obviously has to be 20 MOA for long range shots due to the scope only haveing a 40 MOA...so that would be 20 MOA down for long range shots...but you get the picture.

TLDR: I can't seem to find a good quality 20 MOA Picatinny Rail for the Sako 85 30-06 for the Burris Eliminator II Laser Scope.

Thank you for all your help! :)
 
In the U.S., I believe Richard Near (nearmfg.com) makes the best picatinny rail for Sako. Send an email with your specific requirements and he'll respond promptly.
