If it's something fancy like a Ferrari I guess you could part it out front if you want your neighbours to think you're a big shot

Is 'snobbery' part of the Sako allure ?
( I find the Beretta / Krieghoff / Perazzi mob, look down their noses when I front up with a Winchester. )

Note to self ....
Do not talk to Bigfella ...
( he has a f***ed up jaundiced view, regarding Winchester shotguns )

Gamerancher wrote:Fair enough. All of my silhouette rifles are Sako's. Two are 75's,(7-08 & 6.5 x 55) They are out of the box standard as required in our "hunter" class. A P94S in .22 , a Quad in .22, both standard out of the box, and an old L61R that has multiple barrels and stocks so can be turned into about 8 different combinations on one action. More than happy with all of them. All excellent triggers and 1/2 inch shooters. I also have a couple that I use for hunting, 461 & 579, and have no problems with them either. Was just wondering.

Fingers crossed you don't have to go back to the drawing board and re-pressure bed point it! Against popular wisdom, not every barrel/rifle likes to be free floated...
That said, getting it to shoot a few rounds into sub MOA should be well and truly doable.

Toped it with a Leupold VX3 4-12x50 on Optilok bases and rings to match the other 2 Sakos so all 3 have identical setups. Fired the first shots tonight using Federal 85gr HP's and the first 3 shot group was a clover leaf, 2nd 3 shot group was also a cloverleaf. I set the zero as .3" low at 50m using 4 rounds. Fired 10 shots, got 3 clover leafs, put the rifle back in the bag and this is why I love Sako rifles.

Nothing wrong with that one Brett, was that at 50m or 100m?
