A man who only talks sense... All the checks, methods etc are spot on..

I have a Sako Quad with 2 barrels, 17 and 22 mag., and a Tikka T3 30-06. Great weapons. They're real lightweight and accurate with light, crisp triggers.

Enjoyed your E. Cape hunt. Good bit of kit the Sako 85 carbon fibre. Scope looks good too.

Nice set up and video. I have a Finnlight on layaway. I think it is one of the finest rifles made. I wish we had more of their line imported into the U.S.

That action looks so smooth! Soothing just to see and hear that action cycle. 🤤

I have the 85 synthetic non fluted in 243 with a wildcat predator 8 topped off with a Swarovski Z3 BDC turret, Excellent set up ultra reliability and accuracy out of the box.

What suppressors? I can’t find one with a 14x1 thread...

What model of Stallon moderator was it that you used on this rifle?

Are the rings and mounts used for the scope Sako Optilock?

I find it so strange that here in Canada suppressors are prohibited but in European countries they are encouraged. I heard that in Finland it is sometimes mandatory to hunt with a suppressor.

It depends on the rifle. If we compare 2 similar rifles with similar price range, then Sako is tad heavier since those rifles has more metal parts than plastic. They are both excellent rifles, you can't go wrong with either. It is just matter of preference, do you like light rifle that means bit more plastic or do you like them sturdy which means more metal and weight.

@duhni4551

3 жыл бұрын

Then again if we compare their range rifles, Tikka has made purpose build one where Sako has made one which can be used in hunting and in the range. So Sako obviously is heavily hunting oriented where Tikka has more purpose build rifles. In top end rifles, Tikka is complete crap compared to Sako though, there aren't even one Tikka that can compete against TRG family.

You should reposition the front scope mount so the back edge of the mount sits flush with the exit port for the cartridge. Since the Sako mount is V-shaped you will get the scope perfectly centered that way. When positioning the mount more forward the point of impact is shifted to the left, as you demonstrated when zeroing, since the left side of the mount is fixed and the right side has the tensioning screw. But the bigger problem is that you are also putting more tension on the tube of your expensive scope the further forward you place the mount on the rifle. Or just let the shop do it for you ;-)!

@Physics072

6 жыл бұрын

If a mount is made with proper spec it makes no difference if you have it forward or back. It will have no effect on the POI. If one is worried about tension on the scope they can lap the rings or use ring friction tape. The gun does not kick enough to warrant over 15 pounds of ring tension anyway.

@andreasdonner57

5 жыл бұрын

Dear Bob. The Sako mounts are not a Picatinny rail or some other straight mount with parallel sides. Find some pictures on the Sako mounting lugs on the top of a rifle (or visit a gun shop selling Sako rifles) and you will see that the lugs are wider in the forward end than in the backward end. Since the scope mounts have the tensioning screw only on the right side the center of your scope mount will move further to the left the further forward you place it as the mount gets wider.

EIGHT scope mounting tapped holes on receiver instead of the usual four for more mounting strength 8. fiberglass reinforced, engineering grade polymer rotary magazine with center feed, not offset like SAKO 9. patented 3 lever, adjustable single stage "Feather Trigger" that is at least the equal to SAKO triggers 10. threaded muzzle with radial muzzle brake and protective cap when brake is not in use. 11. 3 lug bolt for fast bolt cycling 12. 2 position tang safety I regularly get 1/2" groups at 100 yards using 6.5 Creedmoor 143 gr. Hornady ELD-X Precision Hunter ammunition. My current scope is a SWFA 3 - 15 x 42, FFP, mil/mil with side focus knob. (Best scope for the money B/C SWFA has no middlemen and no advertising.Vey good glass.)
