Greg, don't look at the brake!
Where's the walnut?
Im gonna have to check it out on their site.
Why do they insist on only 11" twist in 300 Win Mag...
It looks pretty
It's bad enough that it has timber on it at all. About time Sako built another TRG-S type rifle. This is only half way there as it needs a nice carbon stock.
I wonder haw that sad excuse for a recoil lug is going to hold up!
The lack of scope mounting options for 34mm rings is also going to be a pain.
Nice, The TRG is still higher on my bucket list though.
Greg, the 338 is 1 in 10.
I have seen a guy use the optilock base's & the 34mm rings off the TRG 3 ring mount , it is however zero cant .
So this is just a 85 with a long barrel and its called a long range rifle or is there other things that have gone into it
Toby, you had a post about action length a few weeks ago aye? What do you make of these......

Nice but at 9.7lbs she ain't no lightweight:)
The whole tapered dovetail idea needs to be ditched for longer range shooting. My scope only has 10 mRad remaining before it tops out. Enough for hunting I suppose but at extreme end of the adjustment is not ideal. I suggest Sako make this action with a 5 mRad (or 20 moa) sloped mount or else offer 34mm ringmounts with the front one shorter to give this slope. Changing to an integral Picatinny format would help sales too.
Can you make a wooden stock stable enough for .338 ? The brake looks elegant and perhaps a threaded option would also be worthwhile.
This isn't meant to be a target or tactical rifle. It's a lot lighter than the TRG.
Anyway - it this the only factory hunting rifle available in .338LM ? If so, cool !
There are plenty of hunting rifles in 338 Lapua, Remington, Savage & Weatherby that I know of :)
Sako would be reluctant to put sloped rails on their hunting rifles.
Plenty of European scopes only have 30-40 moa in them making them un-useable with a 20moa rail, also locally LR hunting is frowned upon IIRC
Anyone have or has had a play with one of these yet?
H n F sell them.I'd sooner buy that remington LR rig for 1600
bloody shit phone
Nice rifle shame about the calibre
Anyone seen one of these in 338lap in NZ yet ?
Yes!!! I handle one at NZ hunting and fishing in Invercargill a little while ago.
I was very tempted to create more trouble to myself but i couldn't as i have just bought an AR15 at the time.
