AHHHHHHhhhhhhhhh I believe I found what Santy needs to bring down my chimney this year. Anyone seen anyof these yet? They really are a unique and beautiful gun. Sako basically took a 75 Deluxe and instead of tradional skipline checkering they CNCd the W logo of the King Ranch into small script for checkering. Another "W" is engraved and enlayed on the floorplate as well. It's not super shiny or overdonelike my Mark V Deluxe but it's an equally handsome rifle as well. One that I could QUICKLY see me using as a "go to" rifle for all around use. The one we got in at work today features the oil finished wood, high luster bluing and is sweetly chambered in .300WSM.
The only black luster scope we had on handwas a 4x12x50 VXII so I put it on the gun and stuck it in a vice on the counter to gauge customer reaction. It stopped MANY of them in their tracks with a simple

on their faces. The rig is truly a beautiful combination that would be equally at home ina treestand as it would on the wall or in the safe. Now I just gotta figure out what size diamond ear rings to get "Mrs. Clause" so she wont holler about "another rifle". Danged wemunz, it aint our toyz that is expensive, it's their dadgum "hush money" that costs to damned much!!!
And I thought I would just be happy if Santa brought me a White Gold Medallion!
