Came across an ad for a early Sako that had been re-barreled. Replacement barrel is an Atkinson barrel. Not much on the inter-web about Atkinson barrels other than they are likely a cut rifled barrel, and Atkinson himself was a benchrest shooter.

Can anyone add to the background on these barrels? Good, bad, indifferent.


I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.
