My guess is that the ones that are being closed out by Euro Optics are the ones with the plain stocks... Sako is now offering camo and other stock colors for the S20... The worst thing ever to happen to cops is the personal video recorder... Now people can see the truth

What kept me from getting the S20 was I was worried about the strength of the stock in the area of the pistol grip. Otherwise I'd have bought one when S20 prices went down. I've yet to find a Sako I didn't like though. I'm still wanting to get an S20 just to try it out.

That being said all of them are know to be great for accuracy. Spence To each their own I guess, but I do know in the 51 years I've been chasing big game animals, I've never once worried if my rifle was ugly or not. And why would you ? Lookin like you do, ain't nobody you run across gonna notice your rifle. Kinda like they ain't gonna notice a bird in the bush next to a train wreck.
