Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Show those Sakos

I was just sitting here thinking about the sako forester I have in layaway at a local shop a d figured, well. How bout a sako pic thread? Let's see them guys

Heres a Sako on a shhhtump.

Archie, I like those Greywolf, had one in model 75. Nice stock but it was too heavy for what I wanted.


This doesn't really qualify as a real Sako but here it is on a tailgate....grin

Here is one of several that I have. 6mm TCU with a Hart barrel and a stock I carved out of a remnant of a blank that another guy had.

I'll likely be fixin that this winter with a Swirley

May not be a real Sako that A7 of your's but ya can't argue with the results...

Sako Forester 22-250.

Sweet rifles!

Wait until Shrapnel see's this, he has a stash.


Archie, what cartridge is the Greywolf?

The computer with most of my pics I can't get to turn on. Here are a couple of the deer I killed this year with my Sako 85 finnlight.

Dink

.338 Fed.


DINK- those are some nice Socko/Sacko/Sayko/Sako's!

I love mine.

I a few Sakos, a AV Laminate in 7 mm mag, a TRG-S in 7X64, a 75 Finnlight in 6.5X55, a 75 in 25-06, but I only have a photo of my AV 375 H&H.

My 85 Finnlight in 300 WSM wrapped in a McMillan Edge painted light gray has yet to register a kill but it is sitting dead on ready !

Sako 75 Hunter LH in .25-06. Also has a large Reflex moderator on it these days to civilise the bark from the short barrel.

used to have a few of them, down to just this one now. Custom 75 SS in .260 rem, EGDE stock.

Sako DGR in .17 HMR, with B&C Ground Squirrel..

Dink.....sweet rifles and some great bucks!

My Pre Garcia Finnbear, 7mag

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Only own one and it will be with to the end. I don't know what model it is. (I think AV) bought in about 1985. New cartridge then, 7MM-08.

Thanks Archie and JGRaider.

When I bought my 300 ultra I thought I would only buy one more Sako in 30-06. To this day I have never owned one in 30-06. Oh well guess I will keep buying until I find one in 30-06..

OK, ya'll need a couple from the Golden Age of Sako superiority...

L-461, set up as a bench rest only gopher shooter. 1 in 14 twist Lilja 3 groove, 223. Walnut and Rosewood, Loopy LRS 6.5-20 30mm tube.









Here is my walking around / calling varnint rifle. 50's era Sako Riihimaki 222 with custom stock incl Niedner style metalwork, wraparound 22lpi checkering, Loopy 4.5-14x40 Gloss finish scope.

I just LOVE me these small, correct for the cartridge size, older Sako's. Add in some semi fancy wood and I am in Varmint shooting nirvannah. Oh and yes, these two DO get taken out and hunted, a LOT. In fact they are my two most used and hunted with rifles by a long measure.

This one (the riihimaki above) knows how to get ahead! - rockchuck head, in this case below. That is all said Rockchuck showed me, 125 yards away.

The bench gun will shoot 36gr Varmint Grenades into the .3's with no load development work done by me and the Riihimaki 222 plants Moly'ed 50gr TNT's into the .4's when I do my part. Accurate rifles do NOT have to be plasicized ugly
