Thread: brand new sako 85 204 ruger problems

Wow thought it was just mine that was not grouping.... Have tried many things to see if the barrel would shoot at all with different loads and weights of bullets.
I am really just pissed now because the more i search the more problems that are being posted everywhere about this problem. A mate just brought a 204 in the tikka T3 and used some of my hand loads with 25grn of benchmark 2 with 40gr v-max WOW. This is amazing that a 3 shot group can go through the same hole at 150mtr and that anyone with a steady hand can do the same results. Why wont my beautifly little sako do the same.... I love the little rifle the way it feels to shoot and the way it handles but it really puts a dent in your confidance when it just wont put that little pill where it should be going. I have found that it likes the 32gr v-max loaded really hot with benchmark 2. My crony is showing just under 4000ft. I thought i was getting flyers until a walk down range showed that 4 of the 5 made a nice little hole and the 5th one was an inch from where it should have been. This happened 4 out of 4 times... What the hell is it with this gun..... I'm at the point of no return with this gun as it now is a personal matter of pride and honnour that it will not beat me. If a rebarrel is needed then thats what's going to happen. It wears a leupold VX-3L 6.5-20x56mm in sako optilock mounts and rings. This is a great scope that is sits well on this rifle... If you get an answer back that helps please post it..
