RE: Sako rifles - any good ?
My three main hunting rifles are (ranked in order of preference) Cooper 52M, Sako 75, Kimber 84M. I'm here to tell you the Coopers are the best of a good bunch. Great shooters. Excellent craftsmanship. Guaranteed to shoot or they WILL make it right. Coopers can be configured with all sorts of options including fancy wood or synthetic stocked for real world usage. Coopers main downside is build time. Expect to wait a minimum of 6-8 months unless you get one off Gunbroker or stocking gunshops like Hendershots (for example). I just had my 25-06 Cooper to the range yesterday. I had no problem making 5 shot sub-MOA groups with three types of factory loadings. The best performer was Stars and Stripes loaded 100 gr. TSX bullets. Real accurate. I'm very satisfied with the Cooper 52.
