Great info in this thread!!!
I got tired of searching the internet, as I know some of you guys know the feeling. I figured I'd just start this thread because I know there is a wealth of knowledge here. That is very much appreciated!!! I'm more of a model 70 guy, and also love my M1917's and Ruger 77's, but have only had one other Sako, and it was not a great rifle. It had some quirks/strange ejection pattern because of a design flaw. I often hear how good these older Sako's are though, and I knew these guys would know this one. Hell, there isn't even much on Youtube about these AII's. Maybe it's kind of a bastard child? It's not a "pre Garcia", and it lies in between the infamous Sako 85's etc..
However, for me, it checks a lot of boxes though. I like simple and reliable. I really like the ejector location, and the pre 64 model style hinged floor plate. The trigger isn't perfect, but it's a lot better since I adjusted it down to a minimum of 2 5/8 pounds. Shrap is right, you can't adjust them down much lower than 3 pounds, but this one is working very well at 2 5/8. It's pretty crisp, and I don't even notice that it's not 2 to 2 1/2 pounds, like my other rifles.
I also appreciate the info in this thread!!
