    School me on Sako

    I'm 90% sure I'm gonna get a Sako A7 in .30-06. My first criteria in a rifle is accuracy and a 5 shot MOA guarantee is exactly what I'm looking for. Does anyone have one of these or know anyone that has one. Tell me the good and the bad. I'll say upfront, the plastic magazine doesn't bother me at all.

          I've got an A7 in 300 WSM and it's accurate. Great rifles!

            I have two varminters in 22-250 and 243. Haven't found a good load for the 243 yet. Very nice guns.

              Not sure if your reloading but try the 95 grain federal fusion for the .243. Works great out of my A7.

                I have a sako A7 270.. Love this rifle. Mind you it was my first 270 ever, so I cant give you comparisons but I can give you the things I do like.

                The range on this rifle can go well from 50 to 1000 yards with the right scope. Very versatile.

                I will let the real pro's talk here, but here is a link that they did a good review on the SAKO's

                Minute of Angle (MOA) Accuracy Out of the Box
                http://www.gunsamerica.com/blog/minute-of-angle-moa-accuracy-out-of-the-box/
                Pick up just about any gun magazine these days and you will see ads for MOA accuracy, guaranteed, out of the box. MOA means "minute of angle," which is 1/360th of a circle. It seems like a great selling point and I'm sure it sells a lot of guns, but I wondered if the claims were actually true. If you don't understand MOA it is understandable. what does a fraction of a circle have to do with the accuracy of a rilfe? But we'll get to that. Not everyone is capable of shooting MOA, even with the most accurate rifle, so I employed our local neighborhood US Army Sniper (and GunsAmerica Magazine contributor), Ben Becker. The results are astounding. All of the rifles we tested (and we didn't just test rifles that advertise MOA) shot into or nearly into a minute of angle at 100 yards. Some even did it for 10 and more rounds in a row, without cool down. I've said it before and I'll say it again, we are living in the Golden Age of firearms manufacturing. This is incredible stuff. Please don't take this as a "head to head" comparison for these rifles against each other or against other rifles in the market we didn't test. The list of guns we tested is in no way comprehensive. We were able to get rifles from Beretta (Sako, Tikka), Savage, Thompson Center and CZ. Noticeably absent are of course Remington, Browning, Winchester, Weatherby, Ruger and others. This article was not meant to be comprehensive. We just wanted to see what is going on out there in some quality production rifles and these are the ones we could get. There is no reason to believe that the rifles missing from this test wouldn't perform just as soundly as the rifles we were able to shoot.

                  They are some of the best rifles you are going to lay your hands on. For the most part most of their triggers are nice and crisp. You're not going to regret your decision.

                    Sako Rifles are probably the most accurate hunting rifles on the market. Every Sako rifle is test fired at the factory and if it doesn't meet their accuracy standard it is destroyed. They do not rework the rifle to get it to pass.

                    My dream set up is a Sako in 30-06 with a Zeiss scope.

                      My plan is a Sako A7 in .30-06 topped with a Swarovski Z3 4X12X50 with the BRH or BRX reticle. This is gonna be my go to gun in all weather conditions and my future (2014) mountain elk rifle. Picked it up at Cabelas and its LIGHT.
