Nice iron sights front blade height adjust with 2mm hex key & to loosen/tighten rear sight.

I just seen the nicest rifle I have seen in this life time. That is also the nicest way to adjust iron sights I have seen on new rifles.

While im here,

Whats your take on this combo, what you intend to use for an what distances confident for etc?

220gr Hammerheads should work not too bad for hunting at close range iron sights fun & challenging.

Great rifle and nice to see it shooting the 220's decently. Very happy with Sako for hunting ammo.

the 220 grains sako for the 30-06 were sold in europe for the western african buffalo so it works certainly for most i wont hesitate to use it on our wood bison even if i prefer bigger calibers.
