Sako full stock is back!

Link worked for me. It looks like a one piece stock this time. I had one with the two piece stock and it gave me nothing but trouble. Nice looking gun.
 
Not sold on the Bavarian style myself. I'd prefer a full stock with a classic style butt.

Nice range of classic calibres though...

S
22-250 Rem 14”
243 Win 10”
260 Rem 8”
308 Win 11”
338 Federal 10”

M
25-06 Rem 10”
6.5x55 SE 8”
270 Win 10”
7x64 10”
30-06 Sprg 11”
8x57IS 9.5”
9.3x62

I love the choices of old school metric rounds as well...If all goes as planned, I'll be looking at a 6.5x55 or 9.3x62 whenever/wherever they become available. So stoked!
 
Why would any serious shooter opt for a full wood stock? We all know how humidity affects shooting accuracy on guns with normal wood stocks and I can just imagine what it would be with a full stock that is not completely free floating?

Any more comments on its desirability except that it is just something to admire and might point better?

PS. I take back my comments if it is completely free floating but would not be my choice, no matter what....... just a personal choice:redface:.

I have one in a M72 Mannlicher 30-06 carbine that I have had in rain, snow, cold etc - and i know it may not be as stable as a fiber rifle - but - it points and comes up like a dream and shoots dead on at 100 yards. My friends dont give it back when they use it while we hunt.

Year after year after year - I dont have to adjust the scope. It is one of those rifles that has found its happy spot after 40 years and stays there.

BTW for those of you always worrying about the last drop of velocity - 180 gr Nosler Ballistic Tips at 2550 ft/s (only) and it has killed everything it wants from big elk to big deer.

A Sako (if they come to this country) like that would be wonderful. PS - the Bacarian style stock works sooo well for iron sights.

Personally, for me it's just classy, all about the look. Keep in mind that most "serious shooters" own more than one gun, and they don't all have to be capable of shooting 1/4 MOA, sometimes you just want to have a gun that looks nice and shoots....good enough.

Ditto... Although I have always been one for a hunting rifle with a synthetic stock, this one would be used once in a while and just for looks...;)
 
That is damn fine!!!:dancingbanana:

I love full stocks and have read of many that shoot very well. www.accuratereloading.com recently had a thread on full-stock accuracy and most guys reported very favorably.
My only experience is with one of the older Sako Forrester carbines in .308 it was a sub-MOA rifle with good quality ammo. Fullstocks can be free floated with just a the tip bedded. They handle so damn nicely, especially the older slim profile mannlicher-schoenauer style stocks but those didn't scope to well I guess due to the drop.

I like the fact that they keep a 20" barrel.
I would go short action (.308) or step right up to the 9,3!
