That is a dandy. I love Sako's (great triggers) and the Conquest scope is a clear (pun intended) winner. Perfect set-up... the bugs' nutz. Congrats.

PLEASE hurry up and wring it out on the range as I'm sure you're driving some of us crazy to see how it shoots. Congratsand a heck of a setup!

Ok someone help me quit drooling here! That is my wet dream gun. Very nice setup!! Congrats! Definitely give us an update on the shoot in.

I find that a perfect setup. The long Conquest is ideal for the long action. Very good choice in rifle and scope...

Thanks guys, yeah took a lot of research and contemplating on the scope, but i am glad i made the decision i did, i was always a leupold guy. But Zeiss lifetimer now.

Its deer season here and in New Brunswick we dont have much time to hunt 4 (weeks) so i am spending as much time as possible in a tree. I only have had it shoointg once to get it sighted in for deer season.
Only using factory Winchester 140 gr Accubonds, Firing it off the hood of the truck in a gravel pit. So cant really tell you how it shoots for groups, but Love the feel of it, and for a light gun, only approx. 7 1/2 pounds i find little to no recoil. The trigger is abosulty fantastic, i have left it at about 3 pounds for hunting, but intened to play with it a little at the range.
'So hopfully with a little trigger play and some reloading i will be to have things set up the way i want.
