Well purchased myself a new Sako Quad .22LR I had a hard time finding any info on it or seeing a good video of it so I made one. Might help a fellow sportsman out...I donno know. Any how enjoy.
I thinking of topping it with BKL rings and a Weaver Rimfire 3-9x32 AO

I enjoyed your video but I have to tell you it is pronounced Sock-O,not Seiko.Most people get it wrong,so don't feel too bad.

That Weaver will make a nice compact hunting scope but for great fun shooting bug holes,you might consider a Leupold VX2 4-12 AO fine reticle or a Weaver V16.I have the Leupold on my Anschutz 1416 and it isn't as unbalanced as you might imagine.

If your concern is hunting only and you don't care to shoot small groups for fun,I would go with the Weaver 3-9X32.Kahles also made(discontinued now)a 2-7X36 rimfire that would be excellent if you could find one.

do that nice sako some justice, put a good scope on it I had a Leupold 6.5-20 EFR on my Tony Kid Semi auto and Cooper 57M. Cry once and put a high quality optic on it. At least

English was always my weak subject,,, blush lol

As for the glass, Ive got few high powered Conquests on other rifles but for a gopher gun with shots being 50 yards most of the time the Weavers should be fine, I was even considering the Vortex Diamondback rimfire. Im not a huge fan of large scope on rifles I walk around with...just me. (plus they cost so bloody much)

Cheers!!

Good job on the video.

The quads are hard to find.

I have the .22lr and ordered a .17hmr last week. Took it out to the range today and it shot 1" at 50 yards with pretty much all the cheap bulk stuff I had. Im not a great shooter either. In proper hands Im sure this thing could shoot bug holes.

Here is what glass I topped it off with



Cheers!!

Adjust the torque you are putting on the barrel, it may help.

That plus you really need to shoot a couple hundred rounds through the barrel to get it to run.

I've got all 4 barrels, lilja also makes barrels for them but I haven't gone hat far yet.

The 17HM2 is a really interesting, but the 17HMR - damn... Shoots bug holes and its hits are impressive.

Enjoy
