Sako ammunition still not available

Post by Seconds » 07 Nov 2013, 7:57 am

Anyone know of anywhere stocking Sako ammunition yet?

Seems it's been coming for months but my 3 local stores still have nothing.

Just keen to give it a try... Anyone know of any sellers yet :?:

I think I saw an announcement advert in the Shooters magazine 3-4 months ago suggesting it was available now.

Not that I've been checking, but I haven't noticed any in store myself either.

I just wanted to shoot box for the sake or trying it really.

Not the end of the world if it never shows up :D

My local has just got this on the first time now that I've seen.

And I'm in there every 2-3 weeks.

I tried some years ago in my 222, shot like crap :lol: a bloody dinner plate was safe at 50m :D Actually it was for that reason I started reloading, bloody glad I bought it now. :lol:

I'm still using the brass some 30+yrs later! :lol:

I noticed the LGS had a few boxes last time I was in there. Can't recall which cartridges though.
.22LR, .222 Remington, .12g. But it's not the same when they don't live in your safe :P

Eeeh.

For people who think money = quality IMO.

There is plenty of perfectly fine ammo that will be cheaper.

Wouldn't be worth you shipping interstate but FYI I was at Abelas in Melbourne here on the weekend and they had a few boxes.

So it's here at least.

Maybe try their Sydney store now.
