My Otter Creek Labs Polonium cleared a couple weeks ago and I finally had time home to get it spun onto my Sako L579 22 GT. Match made in heaven, much better than the Dead Air Sandman K I had on it. Tough to grab any other rifle anymore. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/M0MqRJ6.jpeg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/ujulyce.jpeg) Sako L579 and McMillan Sako varmint from HawkI Krieger 1-8 Rem varmint cut at 19.75” Near Precision 20 MOA base Bushnell 3.5-21x50 in Seekins rings 88 gr ELD-M’s with 33.6 grs of H4350 in Alpha brass going about 2850 last I checked. Could push it a bit more but it shoots so damn good I figured why monkey with it. Ben

All business right there!
Bore size is no substitute for shot placement and
Power is no substitute for bullet performance. 458WIN

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

That's a fine setup Ben.
Nice to see you posting again.
How are you liking those 88s so far?

How are you liking those 88s so far? It’s hard for me to shoot anything else, in the GT or 22-250 Ackley. Deer, antelope, elk, coyotes, none of em like them at all lol

So why call it a " sucko" L579's are one of my favorite actions. As high a quality as one find just like L61r's. Mb

OK, good enough Ben fair is fair. I've allways felt pre Garcia Sako rifles to be of the highest quality. Mb
