Since I can't remember ever seeing a Sako pic thread I thought I would start one... My first Sako. I had always heard about .5 inch rifles but had never owned one until I bought this one. Sako 75 in 300 RUM with 4.5x14x40. When it was new it would average in .3's with 180 grain partition. I hope my children give this gun to their children. [img:center]http:// [/img] After owning the 300 RUM I have been on the downhill slide ever since...grin. Sako 75 270 WSM with Leupold 3.5x10x40 [img:center]http:// [/img] Sako 75 270 winchester with Leupold vx-II 3x9x40. [img:center]http:// [/img] Sako 85 25-06 with Leupold 3.5x10x40 CDS [img:center]http:// [/img] Sako 85 finnlight in 270 win with Leupold 4.5x14x40 LR. I know the scope is to big and to high but its all I had laying around at the time. [img:center]http:// [/img] New addition. Sako 85 260 REM with Leupold 2x7x33. [img:center]http:// [/img] Sako Quad with Leupold 3x9x40. [img:center]http://[img] http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu203/d_eburton/GUN/DSC03867.jpg[/img][/img] I am sure I am not the only one affected by this sickness. Please post your pics. Dink

If you're not burning through batteries in your headlamp,...you're doing it wrong.

No pics of my Sako w/ a Douglas barrel in 7x57; it started out as a new, un-barrelled Sako action purchased in 1984.
Wish the actions only were still available from Beretta....

Colt Coltsman in .243 with a Minox ZA5 3-15x42. It has a Sako L579 action but has Colt markings. Its one of my favorite rifles.
