338 Win Mag - 10/22/12
I picked up a as new Sako 338 Win Mag on GB a few weeks ago for a song. This gun is a AV, long action Stoeger Import which were only made between 1978 and 1982. The only difference between the AV5 and the older L61R is a streamlined shroud and was the last of the hand fitted guns that Sako ever built. I plan to use it as a Whitetail, Muley/Elk crossover so I zeroed it for both 180 grain Noslers for deer and 225's for Elk. It's a beautiful rifle to boot. Top target 225 Hornadys est MV 2850, bottom target 180 gr Nosler BT chronied at 3081'/sec, both 100 yards. Regards, Rick.
