It is time to talk about Sako rifles! These are exceptional rifles, and the new S20 is no exception. The Sako S20 has some surprises and I have truly enjoyed taking a close look at it. An aluminum chassis makes the rifle seem like one piece which may define new levels of accuracy potential. The Sako S20 is a military grade rifle that you can buy and go hunting with. How great is that! If you enjoy this Sako S20 review please subscribe and consider joining me on Patreon. If you have a Sako S20 feel free to comment below and let me know what you think. Thanks for being here, take care, and Merry Christmas to you all!

    I was a Sako Beretta Trident Dealer for 17 years. SOLID rifles, never had one in my hands that didn't shoot like a house a fire. Hunted @ the world with them too - VERY well made dependable rifles. Anxious to ad one of these to my collection! I VERY much enjoy your videos, no macho/bravado chest thumping, just solid reviews from someone who is passionate @ quality sporting arms and is knowledgeable w/o being biased as well. Thank you for your vids.

    Just a FYI. As someone who has dropped the occasional irreplaceable part of a valuable instrument. I once lost for a few days a titanium screw for a rare Emerson knife. A shop vacuum cleaner with a piece of panty hose stretched across the hose opening can be used for non-magnetic items. Sweep slowly and check often for what gets picked up and held to the panty hose section.

    Those are great scopes. The one you have was originally intended for field target air rifle competitions. The large wheel will have yardage marks so that the shooter can know the precise range when the target comes into focus. This allows for precise holdover with the air rifles. I have a similar scope I use on my 22-250. Great review and Merry Christmas to you!

I can easily believe what you are showing here about this S20 and when the time comes to buy again, you can be sure this one will be front and center. I would like to wish you and the team there at USOG, the Merriest of Christmases this year and all the best wishes and good health for 2021.

    A nice early Christmas present to Your viewers education/entertainment , Thank You ! . A very nice rifle , beautifully built and like almost anything made in Finland made with Function being the primary objective and an equal amount of care devoted to its appearance and ascetics . Function over Form , so whilst I love to see a really nice piece of well grained walnut oiled to a lovely matt shine and shaped with curves and contours to make a super model jealous , I can appreciate the fact that Modern polymers are a much more functional proposition for a tool that might have to contend with the hard knocks from a stint in the wilderness in many varied and possibly extreme conditions . Thank You ! to All at the USOG channel , I have enjoyed everything I've seen from this channel and look forward to many more happy hours viewing in the New Year , Have a Very Merry Christmas and with luck an even Better New Year, Everybody ! . Shoot Straight , Stay Safe & Stay Well .

    As I understand the big selling point for the new S20 was the modularity. When it came out there were two options: Hunter ( what you have) and Precision. And the idea is that like the Hunter version you have there is always the buttstock and the forend and you can mix them up and in the future there would be maybe more options to choose from. Personally I am waiting to buy my first rifle (have the permit there on the table, only what I want is out of stock atm :( so have to wait) and watching your videos I have decided to buy a wood stock iron sighted hunting rifle at some point in my life because who does not like the classics ;) Greetings from Finland and have a happy 2021!

I don't want to offend you and I apologize in advance - however, the fact is that I do care about you. I see that your hands are trembling a lot every now and then. These can of course be harmless circulatory problems or nervousness, but it can also be a sign that something worse is looming, such as Parkinson's. I ask you to let yourself be examined thoroughly, because we want you to be with us for a long time and see your great videos for another 50 years (minimum). :)

    Thank you Andreas : ) I hope you had a nice Christmas and thank you so much for your concern. I made a couple of videos and talk about the shaking and tremor. I went through many tests and the early indications were Parkinson's - which is what it is - and then subsequent testing revealed essential tremor. I have had the tremor all my life and it comes and goes - and doesn't seem to be based on what I am doing or conditions in the environment. I have no problem shooting - which is nice. I received various prescriptions over the years and maybe they were sometimes good. Some of them made me sleepy or impaired my thinking - so I stopped taking them. Anyway - I keep going and hopefully can last a few more years or longer. I truly appreciate your concern. I wish you the very best of health and happiness - and everything. God Bless.

    'Fire between pulses..' Yep, that is JUST what Biathlon shooters do, they release at the 'turn-around' in the heartbeat. After skiing one's butt off, the pulse is a LOT more active than a guy at the range ;-) That looks like a very nice piece! Really clean design, and that stiffness that you note is undoubtedly from very fine tolerances in manufacturing. Is it available in .270 Win? BTW, did you mention the 'street price' ;-) 'Street price' ... that ain't no street gun!! Have a nice Christmas, keep safe, keep those around you safe, and look forward to an improving 2021!

    It would be nice for us tradionalists if they would use those same techniques with a wood stock. A classic wood stock stiffened by the backbone and bedded to perfection. That combined with their workmanship and action sounds like a natural winner. Ahhh---then if it could be done in stainless...... I do admire the one wrench torx used on all necessary fasteners. A great feature out in a remote hunting camp as well as a choice that doesn't always slip and trash the screw heads! Thanks for another very interesting video.

    Well Mike, this is an Interesting design of this Sako rifle. I can appreciate the engineering and machining that goes into these modern rifles. And the Fins make some fantastic guns. But I still struggle to warm up to these modern examples with modern materials. To me, I just prefer rifles made of steel and wood. I suppose I’m being somewhat hypocritical considering that I carry a Glock 19 everyday for personal defense. There was a KZread video that was at least five or more years old that showed a brief tour of the Sako plant by a British outdoors channel. I can’t recall the name of the channel. The people they spoke with at the plant during the tour had a strong commitment to quality manufacturing and design. You might still find this video if you search for it. Anyway, Sako seems to make some amazing firearms and thank you for sharing this video.

    Is it me or does the S20 barreled action look exactly like a Tikka T3x? I ask because I would love to get an S20, especially if I could pop it into an aftermarket stock like the MDT HNT26 down the road. If you could give me some feedback on this it would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!!

    Not a big Sako fan after owning 5 of them from the 75’s and 85’ as well as the A7 all of the had a feeding problem or extraction problem even with premium ammo of several kinds! The Tikka is actually the best gun they make for the price and have never had a problem with the Tikka’s I have owned! I have owned a lot of premium rifles and their is a lot of other guns in the same price range that are a better gun, but the Tikka is a great gun for the price! Just my two cents after almost 60 years of hunting!

    The Finn’s know how to make firearms. Sako is the only push feed rifle I would use for dangerous game because of the magazine design. The cartridge cannot come out of the magazine unless it is feeding into the chamber. I would go into brush after boar and bear with a Sako.

    It looks to me like they are trying to pull off a hybrid of a hunting and a precision rifle. All I can say is that in my experience a thing that is a jack of all trades is usually a master of none. Whether this rifle is able to bridge both worlds successfully only time will tell. Anyways, to both yourself and to those behind the scenes Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I found more than one commentary on the .308 and I like his opinions. As for the .308 - seems to selling well and delivers well known ballistics in an affordable and convenient package. So many cartridges to choose from - every perspective has its place.

    USOG Thanks for the reply so quickly. I had a hunch you are from the North. I’m somewhat close. I live in central Pa. I’m going to assume that since Canada was and still is closely connected to the UK that firearms such as Parker Hales are more easily attainable? Here in the US they are not all that common. I was digging around on guntraderUK the other night and while seeing some of the prices that these absolutely gorgeous rifles were going for, my jaw dropped. They were very, very reasonable in price. You could even say cheap. I love classic firearms and my biggest passion is Handloading for them. If I could find good work in Canada I’d move in a heartbeat. I’m not sure if I’m smart, lucky, unlucky or just stubborn but I’m not married and don’t have kids so there isnt much keeping me in Pa besides great friends and family. As long as I could make it back for a week or two of Pennsylvania deer camp I’d love certain parts of Canada. Thanks again for the reply. Which province do you call home? As I’m sure some are better than others when it comes to being a gun and hunting enthusiast.

    Didn’t any of you notice when he pulled the action and barrel from the chassis that he had the bolt and the trigger ready to fire and he failed to take the bolt out. When he pulls it out of the chassis, you hear the click of the trigger going off. If there was a round in there, it would go bang.

    Which is why a person should always assume that a firearm is loaded unless they have verified it is unloaded. In the above video since the firearm was disassembled off-screen the step to verify that it is not loaded has already occurred. Sadly, there are plenty of people who year in and year out who prove that doing such a simple thing is just too difficult. A few years ago a person I knew wanted to show me their brand new derringer. I wanted to see it as well and so they brought it out. They didn't verify that the gun was unloaded and they had it pointed at my stomach with their finger on the trigger. I asked them if the gun was actually loaded (I assumed it was) and they said that it was. I asked them to unload the gun, but they refused to and told me not to worry because the safety was on. I told them that a safety can fail and all firearm manuals state so as well. Instead of just unloading the gun they got upset and put the gun away as if to punish me. At that point I was happy the gun was gone.
