Sako varmint rifle...

[Rembo]

I've had this little gem sitting around since last spring.....finally got around to swapping out the factory walnut for a McMillan and putting a 4-12X Leupold on top.....looks nice if I do say so myself......it's an AI in .17 Remington...resized and primed 50 brass...might have time to load some up and hit the range tomorrow....I keep thinking that one of these years I'll have time to shoot a gopher......

Nice! I have a Sako Vixen 222. Had her re barreled years ago with a Gaillard as the old factory barrel was shot out. Shoots a half inch any day, often better! Your going to want more magnification for a gopher gun IMO. I have a Leupold 6.5X20 LR on mine. Great for taking heads off those sneaky little gophers that wont give a full body shot. Again nice iron.

The one gun I own that I will never sell is the A1 223 blued laminated you sold me 5-6 years ago.

but you'd sell it back to me..right?....another one I should have kept...

if the .17 doesn't excite me I'm thinking Ted Gaillard makes a good 20 caliber barrel...maybe a 204....?

I love my Vixen .222, it's the most accurate rifle I own. Be sure to post a range report!

Very nice!!! Thats a coyote-callin rifle if I've ever seen one!

 

[Rembo]

shot the little Sako today....loaded up 19grs of IMR4198 under the 20gr VMax...first three shot group was .86"...on a very windy day...velocity ran as high as 4093fps......probably averaged about 4030 or so....

I think I might like it.....

This is the 5th Sako AI I've owned and I really should try and keep it....

Call Stuart at Wildcat Stocks...the L461/AI Varmint is the only Sako stock he makes...

Scott N I own a Vixen of the same generation...in 222 as well. Never liked the monte carlo stock styles of later. I would part with my first born before giving up my Vixen!

You have excellent tastes in rifles M12shooter!
