Default RE: SAKO Rifles

I bought a Sako 75 Varmint in .223 about 3 weeks ago, a Beretta import. It had been on the rack at Scheels for well over a year. The action is butter, fit looks good, free floated. I am trying to find a load it likes. My only real dissapointment was that I could not get Federal Premium 69 grainers into a tight group. It did better with 55 and 45 (!) grainers, and it has a 1:8 twist. I emailed Beretta customer service and asked what load they test this rifle on, and Beretta did not know. Duh. It spends most of its time printing 3/4 of an inch. I hope to do better, and should with the stiff barrel. Anyway, that is where it is at for now.
