Sako factory ammo... Anyone used it

Post by 5bins » 12 Sep 2013, 12:08 pm

I'm a bit late to the party on this one as I've only just discovered this...

I see Sako are making factory ammo now as well as rifles.

Love their rifles, hoping their ammo is the same quality...

Anyone shooting this yet? How does it go?

Oh, and price?

That might be the only downside being Sako I'm thinking...

I think you might be surprised on that. Hopefully anyway...

I read something a while ago that they are doing a range of ammo called "Range" or "Sport" or something like that...

Meant to be match grade-ish ammo at a cheaper price.

We'll see when it lands anyway... Fingers crossed.
What is this "too many rifles" you speak of?

I don't think anyone will have used it... Not available in Australia yet I didn't think?

Regular cheap? or "Sako cheap"?

I'd be seriously surprised if it was genuinely cheap ammo, more likely will just not be the most expensive I reckon.

Hopefully I'm wrong, so yeah, fingers crossed...

Hopefully a 'Tikka' version of the ammo counts out afterwards and is half the price but nearly as good :D

I'm not sure it's actually even Sako ammo really?

I thought I read somewhere that Norma were the ones actually making it?

Could be wrong...
