Sako Quad...

Sounded good in the 2006 GunDigest (page 169).
- Bolt Action
- Barrels are changable in seconds
- Interchangable Magazines
- 4- 22" barrels in 17HM2, 17HMR, 22LR, 22WMR
- Rifle can be bought with one barrel or with all four
- Weighs 5-3/4 lbs
- Black synthetic stock
- Adjustable pull weight trigger from 2- 4 lbs
- It's a Sako :mrgreen:

That's about all I know about them, and I haven't checked their website yet.

The corisponding color coded scope is also a very cool idea. Change barrel, dial in the scope, good to go. It's starting to look like an expensive package though. :shock: :lol:

Had a chance to handle and fire one in .22rf. Only one barrel was purchased, so I couldn't try it in all the variants.

The rifle is well built, fit and finish were excellent. Bolt was buttery smooth, but Ric had already worked it in quite a bit. Trigger pull was quite good for out of the box.

What struck me was how light the rifle is...it was feather light. Strong, but light.
 
I think that the gun its self with your choice of caliber is around $970 + taxes and for each additional barrel is about $270 + taxes. Preatty pricey but really nice

I think that is the approximate price but you may want to check it out

That is in Canadian doller of course

If you got to www.wholesalesports.com/hunting you can check it out there
 
I stopped in at my local shop and was told about $1800.00 (and the scope is about $400.00 or $500.00, I can't remeber which), I kind of lost interest after the initial quote. :shock: The quote was for the 4 barrel version.
 
Yup, too rich for me...besides I know I could buy another gunsafe, allot of old Mossberg .22's, and ammo for that amount of money. :mrgreen:

Nice concept though.
 
Had a chance to fondle it again last night, and again was struck by how light this platform is! Also, the barrel is changed by removing a single hex-screw, and then pulling the barrel UP and then forward. The receiver stays in the stock.

This by itself is not a problem, but with certain scope-bell sizes and rings (in this case, an Elite 3200 3-9x on med rings) the scope has to be dismounted to change the barrel. At the very least, some high magnification, AO or large bell scopes will need high, extra-high or maybe even QR rings for frequent barrel/calibre swaps.

Burris's quad scope is quite short, so it might not have this challenge.

Still a neat little rifle.
