Sako

[lmartin5]

Thinking of buying a Sako in a 7mm or 30/06. Don't know many folks that have ever owned a Sako, and looking for any information that I can get.

I've researched a bit on the Internet, but looking for some first-hand advice. Thanks in advance!

Check out the Tikka. I love my Tactical .308.

Sako

I've got a Sako 85 Hunter 260 Remington and a Sako Big Game 30-06. Also have 3 Tikkas and really like them also. I can't say that the sako's shoot any better than the Tikkas, but I can see the superior quality that the sako's have in fit and finish. They all shoot very well, but I will always be on the lookout for Sako's that are priced fair. They'll hold their value better than other ,off the shelf rifles also.

I have a Sako A7 in .308 and it is a very accurate weapon. I've owned two other Sakos and liked those as well.

I've owned several Tikkas as well, and all fine shooters.

I have had quite a few over the last twenty five years and currently have about half a dozen. I am partial to the older ones such as the L61 and AV models. They are very accurate and reliable rifles. They are a bit on the heavy side compared to some newer models on the market today. You can check gunbroker and see what they are currently priced at.

personally, I'd buy a used Sako 75 ... love that rifle

Love the Sako rifles! I have a sako 75 in a 7mm stw that shoots .5 groups. Also bought a A7 last year in 7 mag that shoots .75 groups with factory ammo.

I own 4 L61R Finbears and they are all AWESOME! Absolutely love them. Would own another brand.

Great rifle and super accurate.

The 75 was probably the best they made since the old models on a Mauser action. The 85 isn't bad either.

The only draw back IMO is they're very spendy if you get a synthetic model for what you get...it's basically a fiber reinforced high end plastic stock.

Another option is the A7 with a factory installed Bell and Carlson.

All Tikka's, A7's and 85 model barreled actions are made by Sako...Great quality product.

I have a Sako L691 in 300 Wby and it would be the last firearm i would sell. I love this rifle.

I couldn't decide on the Sako A7 or the Tikka T3. I went with the Tikka but the A7 is sweet. When I go to the website for Sako, all I do is drool at the wood stocks on those rifles. They're expensive but they are absolutely beautiful rifles that don't just look pretty, they are guaranteed to be shooters.

Would buy an older Sako all day long!

I've got a Sako 7mm mag that is older than I am. Great gun.
