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

Almost zero. Now a 22 creed might make some waves...

I love the "it's not pretty enough" crowd. Are we talking guns or barbies for f ucks sake?

I guess those are standard flush cups swivel sling holes, the flush-cups on my Manner eh5 Thumbhole are not on the bolt side. Does the S20 have them on both sides, I haven't seen a picture of the left side.?.
The bolt handle would be digging into your back.

JGRaider, what is yours chambered in?
Good shooting bugger.

6.5 PRC ol mike. Yes, flush cups on both sides.

10-4 thank you.

6.5 PRC great cartridge, it puts about 250 fps on my 6.5x47.
That's a 'good' hog & coyote.

I disagree. If assembled properly thinking about mag-box and projectile selection, well supported with excellent ammo availability and lots of hype from print and digital media, I think they could make a go. You tout it as a dirt-cheap/no-recoil way to "practice" with similar ballistics to your "deer/big game" rifle. Get PRC to start a ".378 bolt-face" division, heck, you could call it the 223PRC.

The 20 fps from the extra case capacity isn't worth the decrease in feeding reliability. A normal 223 with fast twist, sure.

Neither the 1950s Weatherby style nor the Finnwolf are particularly attractive. The Sako is a neat gun, though!

right after they introduced the 75.

All I know is I love mine... I did buy the precision model not the hunter model... extremely accurate and I love the adjustability of the stock and trigger.

I ordered an S20 Hunter 300win-mag from euro-optic, been wanting a Sako & a 300win. Itch scratched.

I have a homeless Bushnell 3x12-44LRTSi , 30mm warne rings , 1lb. of IMR-8133, 208gr. amax < can't let these things go to waste .

At those prices this is a good time to get one. They are well made rifles with great features and amazing accuracy.

I've watched several videos of S20's in 243, 6.5 creed & PRC, 300win. etc. , one guy from England bore-sighted the rifle. First shot was out about 3/4'' next four into a ragged hole, with factory ammo at 100 yards..

A guy on long-range-hunting forum S20 300win. shoots great groups with every bullet he's loaded for it. That's good proof of an accurate rifle.

BUT,, why in the world do these companies use slow'ish twist barrels, like the 7mag. w/a 9.5 twist?? HEY SAKO,, it's 2023

I think they should have figured out how to lighten the stock. It’s just heavy for what you get. Love the form factor. It’s just too heavy for a shorter weight barrel rifle

My brother bought an S20 precision. 6.5 prc. his groups for five shots with t hree different factory loads , less than .4 , with handloads a little less than that. it is amazing for the money.

Sako S20 arrived yesterday, I like it.
300win.mag. , Bushnell LRTSi 3-12-44 , Warne steel, low rings.
Plan on loading Lapua brass , 208 - 230gr. Berger/Lapau/Hornady bullets.
Buttery smooth action , fit and finish is great , feels great in hand and shoulders well.
Love the adjustability of the stock and trigger.

Tarquin - Thanks for the Euro-Optic sale link ...

Outstanding. You're gonna love that setup. Keep us posted if you don't mind.

I'll do it, it might be a little while before I get to work with it.

Fotis ,,, don't say it ! ! !

[quote=JGRaider]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


JG....factory or handloads??

[quote=Fotis]You do not have to sacrifice beauty for accuracy dude.
300 RUM



Fotis...what's the details on this one??

Those were the Norma gold tip match 143's. Their bondstrike (like an accubond) 143's shoot practically the same. Seems to be high quality ammo.
