Sako 75 Hunter .338WM that I picked up from a nice fellow on HBC at a price I could not refuse.:)

I blasted and coated all the metal with matte black arma-coat, put a VXII 3-9 CDS on it, and dropped it in the McMillan stock today. Colour is the black with tan speckletone.
Big thanks to Why Not for the front sight hood.:cheers:

Weight is still a hefty 9lbs scoped, but the new stock dropped 10oz. The key concept will be replaced after the season. Load development consisted of about 10 rounds, and resulted in a load with 210 TTSX @ 2950 going 5 shots under 1". I'm very pleased with this rig, and it will be with me for a long time.:D

On a serious note...dats a heck of a Moose Masher Brad. Looking forward to a dead Swamp Donkey pic in a few weeks. Just got back from White River, saw 2 bulls, 2 cows, all out of bow range.

October 6th rolls around and we can put that stick/string BS in the closet and get chit done :D

EDIT- You old Ontario Fudds just cant ditch the irons, no matter what age we live in eh? :D

This one ain't going anywhere, took me a long time to find it (although I have toyed with re-barreling to .358 Norma)...:D

Someday in the near future I will be hunting abroad with this one, and the irons might come in handy. Otherwise, I agree...

Leaving on the 11th for our moose trip. Good luck.:cheers:

Nice rifle, but don't try out the 358NM. You might like it more. Bevan King built me one on a 700 in a Brown stock. If not for a young guy (gun nut) at work who lusted for it and the 375CT, I would have kept it for a long long time.

Where the moose hunt?
