Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Sako S20 is no more...

Eurooptic is letting them go cheap.

The stock alone prevents me from having any interest.

I bought one recently, the Precision model. Didn't get that good a deal but it was about 400 off MSRP. I like it. Very accurate, great trigger, smooth action. A little heavy but is very pleasant to shoot off the bench (6.5 Creedmoor). Lots of room in the magazine to load long high-BC bullets out much further than factory ammo. Sako did it right in my opinion.

Love mine.

I don't think that the "Sako S20 is no more". Sako has been advertising the Fusion camo version since SHOT 2023.

The black stock version might be discontinued. They have Roughtech, Camo, and Polyfade listed. I think those are new, and what Sako had alluded to for new S20 models.

you all can have them. Thumbhole----yuk

Good call Fotis.....they really suck, yuk, and all that other stuff......I will take 'em all day, every day.

5 shots, 1/2" square


Verifying the first 5 shot group wasn't a fluke.....


Pretty good killers too.........

Mine shoots like yours does JG. I love how the trigger position can be adjusted to fit your hand. I moved mine all the way forward, and backed the pull weight to minimum which is probably under 2 pounds. Trigger is fantastic. There's absolutely nothing I don't like about mine.

They shoot well never denied that, but look like buttocks...like Glocks reliable but ugly as hell.

You do not have to sacrifice beauty for accuracy dude.

30-378 Bee









and yes they also kill








See...I can have my Kate and Edith too! LOL

Of course they kill.....anything that neccesitates wearing a crash helmet and mouth piece to shoot it should kill pretty quickly. I have no desire for those big boomers, but glad you like 'em. I got over "magnumitis" about 10 years ago.

Talks about beauty, proceeds to post a rifle that looks like a piece of space debris from a Chinese spy satellite, and a Weatherby with a calf scours colored Cerakote paintjob.

Sako has had a string of flops after the 75 series it seems. The 85s had a center mounted ejector that caused many to have feeding issues and the S20s are god awful looking and a little weighty by todays standards.

That being said all of them are know to be great for accuracy.

Thank you Dr Ruth... now I never dogged anybody I always said one man's trash is another man's treasure. I have beautiful custom deluxes .....#1 s rugers.....1886 Winchester with deluxe wood.... it all varies. Hell I even have a gorgeous 1965 made Sako finnwolf in 308 same year I was born.... never getting rid of that. In my opinion after the 75 everything else was crap. But thank you for your input

Here's another one you might consider handsome. 300 bee. I know it does not measure up to your thumb hole sako. by the way the last pictures of Sako finnwolf

To each their own I guess, but I do know in the 51 years I've been chasing big game animals, I've never once worried if my rifle was ugly or not.

The finnwolf is legit. If you carried that wooden Weatherby around with me aoudad hunting for 4 days it would wind up looking like a herd of pitbulls got ahold of it.

Isn’t that when beretta took over?

Nice rifle, nice elk, awesome groups!

And I’m bet’n that, your Kate and Edith comment went right past a bunch of folks! 😉 memtb

I wonder how many rifles Sako could sell if they decided to commercialize the 223AI in a rifle w/2.5-2.6” mag box, 22” 1:7 sporter with that lightweight carbon stock from the carbon Finnlight?

Commercialize it w/Lapua or Sako making brass, ammo, and a high BC tipped Scenar of 75-85gn.
