Scope is yet to be determined but may be a Nightforce. Take a look at the NXS 2.5-10X32, with the 600 yard Velocity reticle. Anything past 600, you can still spin the turret. I have the same scope, with the NP-1 reticle, and love it. Accurized 700 Pillared Classic Talley LW's NXS 2.5-10X32 I feel sorry for whatever gets in front of you...
I should have just bought a [bleep] T3...

MCH the tube will finish up at 24"....I bought it off RinB on here over a year ago.Nice! I didn't have to wait for it! Dave yeah I know Tubbs uses that case...IIRC he designed it for over the course match shooting and slick feeding from a magazine rifle.Guys and gals at my club shoot it and say barrel life is good;brass excellent but I forget who makes it for Tubbs.Lapua maybe? Also very accurate...I figure it's gotta shoot in that Bartlein tube... I'm even gonna stick a bipod on it......and turrets!

Bob, Think trigger, fast locktime, cylindrical bedding surface, bases with 20 MOA of downhill for extended range. Mmmm...........John you can't get one of the bases for a Sako, right?

20 MOA base is the way to go Bob. Not sure at all you can do that with the SAKO. You could always try one of these from Defiance Machine, Bob. Smooth as silk. Buy the time you get done tweaking the 700 you could almost have one. Only took me about 6 weeks. Ordered in the beginning Dec showed up in the 3 week of Jan. Are we helpen you Bob? dave

Bob; I hope this finds you and yours doing well this fine Saturday morning. While I might be branded a heretic for this, I'll pass along my story anyway and then slither off to work. Last year or maybe 2 years back, a friend of a friend brought an older Sako '06 over to see if I could do anything with the trigger, as it would go off when the bolt was closed with anything more than kid glove force. I could not get it to close safely and have a pull weight of less than about 6lbs or a bit more. In frustration, I contacted a BC gunsmith who has always and invariably given me good advice - our own greydog. He informed me that the particular series of Sako I was working on did that often. He said he could set the trigger and quoted a fair price, but advised that the owner replace the factory trigger with a Timney unit that had a better mechanical design. The Timney took about 10 minutes to fit into the stock and worked flawlessly for me and as far as I've been told - for the owner since. Anyway, food for thought Bob. Even on a walking varminter one doesn't want it going bang when it hasn't been asked to do so... Well, work beckons me so I must be gone. Dwayne

I am a huge Sako fan. have a few L579's , AII's (what exact action are you thinking about ?). I am also a huge Rem 700 fan, the biggest difference between the two is the trigger Jewell does not make one for a Sako and the Jewell for the Remington is the standard............. rockchuck I think I want to say it's an "A" series(?)....I know it isn't a pre garcia Sako....one that came after that...I don't know my Sako's as good as I should....but it is a very nice action. If it is an "A" series (probably the AII if it is the 308 size) it is a great action and better made than the Rem 700, still the only problem is the trigger. You might want to ask your gunsmith if he can tweak it to an acceptable level. I have Burris dual dovetail bases on a few of my Sako's and by using the signature dual dovetail rings I can easily get an extra 20 MOA for 1000 yard shooting

Never heard that about Sako trigger's but Timney does make one for the A series, but not in the same league as a Jewell for the 700 series

The only reason I'd use a 700 action is for a SA varminter... I think I'd go 700, though it certainly doesn't matter either way... as Dober points out, it's the trigger not the action.
Bob, is the 6xC essentially a 6mm-250/3000?
