Just bought another Sako

Until just lately, I've only had one Sako. Fairly recently I've managed to acquire my second. Chambered in 270 Win, it once belonged to a friend and former workmate who is now having problems 'seeing the sights':(.

I've owned a dozen or so, today a A1 laminated 223 is pretty sweet and my son hunts with a 75 in 30-06.

I load a 168 gr TSX for him over 58 grains of H4350 for velocity of just under 2900 fps average, fed 210m primer with WW brass.

Yours will shoot, they all do.

:)Thanks. Something along that full length wood style has always been one of my 'must get one of these days' items. What I had in mind was something like this Sako or possibly a Husqvarna but in more of a traditional European caliber such as a 7x57 Mauser. However, knowing the previous owner and some of the history of the rifle, for the time being I thought this will sufice.

Quite a while back, and seeing as one of the more popular calibers I have never had is the 270, I purchased a nice Husqvarna in 270 from Why not? to fill that void. All these years without a 270, :redface:now I have two:p.

I've had 2 85's and the CRF is bogus. Its a pushfeed and by the time it grabs the rim, the cartridge is already in the chamber.

The barrel bands, as designed so I assume there must be a need. Sights, more or less standard for open sights. Flutes:confused:, none.

Johnn, he was remarking on the new 85 that Sealhunter bought, not your .270...:D

So this is a 30-06 Black Bear,...

CRF, Fluted, free floated, etc.

Anyone have one? Experiences? Reloading?

Congrats! I have 2 Sakos and am looking to buy a third in a varmint. The detachable mag and smooth handling are selling points to myself.
