You'd have to get it pretty hot, I suspect giving it hundies with a heat gun couldn't possibly damage it. What's the annealing temp of staino
Heat it up, beat the shit out of it with a hammer, it'll come off. A couple of good decent knocks directly on the top should help.
You’ve definitely removed all the grub screws aye?
I’ve seen it happen before.

Just grind it off. It will all buff out....
Attach some beefy rings and scope... something sturdy like a nightforce and get an assistant to hold it muzzle up with the butt on the ground.
A couple of good swings of a bit of 4x2 about 1200 long down onto the objective bell of the scope should pop that rail off no problems [emoji16]
I take it you are tapping it towards the recoil pad not the muzzle?
A short bit of alloy flat bar used as a punch will let you give it a decent twat without denting stuff.

Another option, is chuck rifle in the deep freeze over night, as a lot of glues and resins, become brittle with cold,
Sorta looks like the rail is over the tapered dovetail as well?. Have you tried tapping it backwards?
Yip it's a near rail slides on the dove tail ,yip tried hitting pretty hardQuote:

Loctite let's go at over 100 deg c.
If it's an Geraldine or epoxy putty that could be more.
But even then 150degc isn't that hot.
I doubt very much you would do it any harm if using a heat gun.
Use decent brass drift and punch it up thru the back of the mag well. Punching it fwd or backwards is against the most resistance.
On the Sako they are driven onto tapered dovetails not mounted to a round action top.Quote:

To avoid accusations if it goes tits, up I suggest you get the guy who put it on to get it off
Doh, I should have looked closer. Assumed it was an A7. Should have taken more notice of post #15 as well. And ever dumber considering I have a Forester and a 75 with tapered dovetails.Quote:

Buzzman is a confirimed Sako slut and as such well above an A7 [emoji16]Quote:
