Zaphod1966 Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Hi Guy's & Gals, I need some advice on mounting a scope to the rifle. I've just bought a SAKO TRG-22 in .308 with a Black stock and Blued Barrel and I'm about to fit a NightForce NXS 8-32x56 scope with the Illuminated MLR reticle. Current suggestions are: Badger Ordnance (306-80) picatinny 20 moa rail Badger Ordnance (306-21) 1.0 30mm medium high rings Tactical Warne rail Optilock base & rings I'll be target shooting up to 1000 yrds hence the 20 moa rail. I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to put these together. Cheers Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDY Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 In 308win you will need a 20moa rail to land shots on target at 1000m, I have the Badger Ordnance 20moa rail and rings on my 308win and I highly recommend them, I haven't tried 1000m yet but it shoots well out to 800m but I still have a lot of testing to do yet.

Jagerman Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Andy Go with a Ken Farrel 20 MOA base and standard rings, this puts the scope pretyy much spot on. My mate has 2 TRGs with this set up and its perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookie Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 I've nothing sensible to add to this thread, but I would like to see pictures of the finished setup if possible. And also, could someone explain the need for a 20 MOA rail? Is it to allow the scope to point "down" more to cope with the fall of shot?

Wookie, you're right, that's what the rail allows for, my 6.5x55 drops 274 inches from a 100 yard zero at 1000yrds (my scope has enough adjustment without the rail). A 308 drops more and the 20 MOA rail means you don't run out of clicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InGen Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 (edited) well first off its a very nice rifle and as its sako i would go for optilock. Edited May 20, 2008 by InGen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 I have fitted the Sako tactical scope mount on my TRG22 with a Leupold VXIII. Mount has 30 MOA elevation allowance. Not tested beyond 400 yards yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
