@ChrisW
This is an excellent result from a respected brand
Well done all.
@ChrisW from the way you have written this I assume that you are the shop owner.
I’d just like to congratulate you on some first class customer service. Maybe to you this is what it’s all about and comes naturally to you.
But it seems that it’s a dying art these days.....(either that our we just hear more about it)
Anyway good on you for coming on here and testing the rifle and scope and coming up with answers which seem to have ticked all the box’s!
If I was your customer I’d be very happy! I assume he is???
Some will understand that as a man made they are prone to being faulty as I posted before. Some won’t understand this.
PS I’d stay away from the boats;) they look like nothing but a headache :thumbsup:
Top bloke Chris love your style mate
Thanks for your help Chris, I picked up the replacement Thursday. Looking forward to the weather clearing so I can shoot it. Don't know if it's helpful, but I have noticed from the Sakos I have handled that the one that went back to you has a snugger fitting bolt...in fact one of my cheap trial factory bullets wouldn't chamber. I will update again once replacement is shot, btw GC have tested and they found it to be good The biggest frustration I have had is that the process has seen me without a hunting rifle for six weeks after paying good money expecting a shooter out of the box. I understand that from time to time these things happen and I do appreciate that all the boxes have to be ticked in verification of a fault. Will the rifle go back to the factory for diagnosis ? I would be really interested in knowing what the fault is.
So.....yesterday I took the replacement Sako up to play in the snow at Lake Lyndon. I am happy to report that this one shoots really well with the ammo it prefers. My old favorite Hornady Superformance SST's 150 gr did the trick, as did Fiocchi BTHP Matchkings 168 gr., which were the very best on the day ... shooting 3 into 1 hole and 2 into another. The Hornady Whitetails came in 3rd. There is nothing at all wrong with the scope and this is something I am pleased to confirm. Given more time for proper barrel cooling I am confident that even the good groups can be tightened up, and given that this is a hunting rifle, this is impressive.
Thanks to all involved for the support in getting this sorted.
Well done Paul.
