Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Sako A7 270WIN - 2 QUESTIONS

Hello all,

I have a Sako A7 in 270win with a Leupold VX3 1.75-6x32 in Talley Extra Lows. The front base/ring is the extended version and it hangs over the action. I'm wondering if any of you know if I could just do a Low version of this ring and not have it hang over the action? Or if I could put the extended in the rear and still have correct eye relief? I really don't like how it overhangs.

Also, do you think the upgrading the stock to a McMillan edge is worth the almost $600 investment? The rifle weighs 7.25 lbs all up. I'd probably save 1/2 lb or so. I average 1"-1.5" at 100 yards, but I think that is the shooter. I mostly like the looks of the McMillan and want to change things up a bit.

Thanks in advance for any feedback.
