Has anyone seen the new "Key Concept Lock" on Sako rifles? What are they like? Here is the info from Sako's site:

Key Concept is the first ever integrated rifle lock. A practically invisible lock that totally blocks the firing pin and prevents bolt movement. True to Sako's drive for functional and stylistic design, our craftsmen wanted Key Concept to be totally integrated, which leaves Sako rifles´ lines as they have always been - sleek and smooth.

To lock the bolt, check that the chamber is unloaded, unlock the firing pin, and turn the integrated Abloy® key 180 degrees and remove the key. This immobilizes the firing pin and the bolt, the rifle cannot be loaded or fired. Key Concept gives you, total security control over your firearm. No unauthorized person can use it!

The actual lock system of the Sako Key Concept has been subjected to grueling performance and safety tests with different loads and in all weather conditions. We will not relax our standards as the most accurate factory-made premium rifle in the world.

OH MY GOD ITS A J-LOCK :roll: :mrgreen: we better boycott Sako too

No, not really, though I'm sure function is much the same. Those that hadn't seen earlier Sakos probably wouldn't even notice it.
 
oh wait, they did...

The vast majority are made without it, you can order it added to a 75 Deluxe.

It also is avaiable in kit form that fits all Sako 75's. I'd take mandatory locks over gun registration any day. It would cost the government nothing and they could say it lowers crime. Win-win if you ask me.

A friend brought over his Sako 75 in 9.3X66Sako the other day to show it off.

I was actually impressed with the locking system.
You don't have to use it, and it is very unnoticeable as well.

So it's a lock, so what?

Oh, and Todd! I hardly think the T3 is anywhere near as bad as the 710, but then they are both bolt action things, what do I know ?? :lol:
