Here's my A1 SAKO repeater in a McMillian Hunter stock. It has a 1:14 twist my range partner has a later Sako single shot on a S491 action with a 1:12 factory twist. My SAKO weighs just over 7# ready to go. It likes Sierra 70gr HPTs. In 5 3 shot groups 1 will be 1/4", 3 around 1/2" and 1 Around 3/4". Think of it as a 222 on steroids. Mine has only shot paper & turtles.
