I’ve got exactly one. A vixen 223 sporter. I’ve tried exactly one load in it Sierra 1365 over 748. .5” five shot groups. I quit right there. There was a heavy barrel 222 mag right next to it but I couldn’t afford both…. I got the 223. Leaving that deuce mag still haunts me….

Never trust anybody from a country that hasn’t won a world war. America has done that and says the word it is written; SAKO is long A so it is Say ko. It is an acronym anyway…

I enjoy your hunting pics and pics of your rifles very much!! We had a guy on our deer lease that pronounced it correctly. Everyone pronounced it incorrectly just to aggravate him. I just can’t wrap my fine 7th grade mind around Socko even if it’s correct.

Sako A1, 222 Rem heavy barrel, with Optiloc base/low rings. Shoots in the "threes".
Will be selling it this year. Just not using it. My woodchuck gun. Don't chuck hunt anymore

Kirk- I figure that you will keep up on this thread. What is your view on the Marlin 322 in 222 with microgroove barrel. It hasn't been shot much and can get for 950.

I had one years ago and had it made into the custom gun I showed earlier in 223. It is nice as a L46, but not very pleasing to the eye. The micro grooves, I’m not sure if indeed it is Marlin Micro grooves or a Sako barreled action that Sako made with similar rifling to Marlin made Micro grooving. I have seen other Sakos with the same rifling, so that is why I think it may be all Sako barreled action marketed by Marlin. My preference would be to put a little more with the price and get a standard sporter in 222 than have the Marlin. I don’t find the 322 particularly attractive…

Yesterday I looked at a Sako Mauser chambered in 300 H&H. Blueing was great stock was a blond color and was fair. A couple of things threw me off. Ivory diamond under the action and double set triggers. Recoil pad and it was crushed.

Sako AV 30-06 left hand laminate. I bought the gun used in Edmonton in around 1996, Its a pretty good gun but it weights a lot. Not the best choice for waking around when the snow is deep.

Guns in living rooms and on tables don't show what they are made for. I agree, the usefullness is more important than the looks. Here are a couple with a Sako Deluxe in 30-06 and a Sako deluxe in a Model 75 in 300 Weathereby...
