Default RE: SAKO performance

We own two Sakos and a Tikka and two hunting buddies own 4 Sakos. All of these rifles are perfect and demonstrate excellent accuracy. I'd say that they're worth it.

I have two. A 7mmRem mag and a 300Win mag. Both group M.O.A. or less with well tailored handloaded ammo.

I love my Tikka's. They all shoot 1" groups or better with factory hunting loads. If you think the trigger is sweet, just try the bolt action. Smoother than silk.

Default RE: SAKO performance

I own Sako's in 7mm-08, 280, 7mm Rem. Mag, 300 Wby. Mag., and 375 H&H Mag.. My Dad has Sako's in 223, and 7mm-08. With proper handloads they are all 1" or less shooters, except the 375 H&H, I never shot it enough to find out since it's not the kind of round you want to do lots of bench shooting with. It's just my opinion but I think they are definetly worth the money, get one you won't regret it.

Default RE: SAKO performance

I have a Sako 7mmRem Mag.Yhe gun made me drool, love at first site. It shoots nice ,only I can't get it to group well with premium factory loads. If I'm reading right Weasel and Wolf6151 are saying the same thing. I just remounted the scope and shot it again yesterday. Not good, atleast to me.
At this time I am preparing to send it to Beretta Service. Maybe Weasel and Wolf 5161 will tell us what they think I should do, ship it out or have a reliable friend work up some loads for me.
Just my 10 cents worth, Roman.

Default RE: SAKO performance

I have only owned one sako-an older .375 and it was fairly accurate.The action however was not very smooth and I did not like the dovetail scope mounting system.

Default RE: SAKO performance

I had a Sako several years ago. Chambered in 243 Win.I would get groups @100 yards that could be covered with a quarter.It was a good shooter, just didn't care for the caliber.I know the 243 is a good cartridge. It was just a little to light for my likens.Ruger Redhawk
