It was returned by the store to Sako (whoever) and returned where it was a 2 moa rifle. I traded it for a Benelli SBE. The next was an older 30-06 Finnbear that shot okay 1.5 with handloads, but certainly not a barn-burner. Then I bought a new Forester in .243, another 2" rifle. It came back worse. I was REALLY dissapointed in this one...it was beautiful. I had it rebarreled and it still wouldn't shoot. The last was an A7 that had already been customized in 25-06. It was junk, and I kept the S&B scope it had on it. You see, I really want one, but ANY rifle that doesn't shoot doesn't stay in my closet.


I am with you. I have plenty of very fine shooting irons, but thought it would be neat to have a factoy gun to loan out to my friends that shot very well. I should have known better.

on a lighter note I did buy a few rifles this month that do shoot well.
