so why are people saying that they are no more..? They are still on the Sako website as available product? 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
I love my Sako's and I have older ones and 75's and 85's. 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.

It has a fairly substantial metal skeleton. The buttstock does attach near the tang of the action though.
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
Those were the Norma gold tip match 143's. Their bondstrike (like an accubond) 143's shoot practically the same. Seems to be high quality ammo.[/quote]
Found a helluva deal on one of these last week. Will pick it up Monday. Hopefully it shoots as good as yours![/quote]
Ya!
Got one in 6.5 MannBunn myself. Came with both stocks.
GWB[/quote] I don’t believe mine is coming with both stocks. If I don’t like the thumbhole I’ll see what’s out there for a replacement.
Sako has had a string of flops after the 75 series it seems. The 85s had a center mounted ejector that caused many to have feeding issues and the S20s are god awful looking and a little weighty by todays standards.
That being said all of them are know to be great for accuracy.

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.
