There’s a new Sako in town, the SakoA7 [8D] Has anyone one seen one of theses? Check the link www.sakoa7.net

I think your looking at tikkas replacement.

RE: the new SakoA7
 

It looks alot like a Tikka to me. I like my Tikka alot but the Sako has a higher price tag then my Tikka did.

RE: the new SakoA7
 

I found the 85’s resembled the Tikka and this new Sako sure looks similar. I much prefer my Sako 75’s...

RE: the new SakoA7
 

The bolt looks just like the Tikka bolt!

RE: the new SakoA7
 

Maybe so but the Sako has three locking lugs where as the Tikka has only two...

RE: the new SakoA7
 

The 75 and 85 do, but does this one?

RE: the new SakoA7
 

It does, but not sure I would want to spend an xtra $500 over the price of a Tikka to get an xtra lug!

RE: the new SakoA7
 

There’s a little more to it then just appearance and one locking lug between the Sako & Tikka...:eek:

Looks to me like it is a tweener gun, Not a 75 or 85 Sako but yet more than the T3. Actually reminds me of my Sako TRG-S that I shoot. I have both the Sako's and the Tikka's and i can tell you there IS a difference. just go to your local gun counter and feel them both. The Tikka is a excellent gun for the money, probably the best actually. The Sako however, is a whole new catergory. The 3 lugs will help with accuracy if they are lapped properly and just about every Sako i have seen is lapped well enough to not mess with even for competition. Nice weights on these new A7's. Cant wait to see one!

Now only if they had a thumbhole stocked model..............
