I have a Reflex T8 on my Sako 75 .223.
Its bit of an overkill, but at least I know it won't bulge etc.
As Barefoot mentions, unless you are doing rapid fire (unlikely in a bolt action), you can go a lighter alloy model.
Keep the ASE for an AR or similar, as the ASE's are built bullet proof for use in a semi auto.
