What I can't figure out is why anyone would want to own one of these rifles?
Better ways to spend time than twisting one's self into knots trying to correct a faulty design..(sounds like the angle of ejection is wrong.How this is solved by having the extractor grab less of the rim I have no idea).
When enough people stop buying the things,Sako will screw its' head on straight and redesign it.
I wouldn't own one for 5 minutes before it would be down the road if it behaved as described.
I own/owned several with out any problems but I like the optilock rings/bases.
Show me another rifle for $1000-$1200 that you can buy that has a good trigger and most will punch three shots between .3-.7.
I like to trade guns and have owned most brands in several makes, model and calibers. I have never had any other factory rifles run with a Sako. Tikka and CZ are good but they are not Sako's.
I have hade piles of model 70's and 700's but very few would would put three shots near .5.
