Thread: Sako 90 (new range of models released)

Just watched the live launch, check out details below

https://www.sako.global/series/sako-90

Factory Sako 90 Peak 6.5prc at 3kg bare, not behd

stink cannot view whilst at work.... stupid net restrictions

Scope mounts have changed which will probably win a few people over - actions are either 17mm Tikka mount or slotted for Picatinny rings depending on model

Correct. We have 52 about to be put on a plane (along with a few hundred Tikka)

Initially the S action size is coming in, so mainly 308. But we have ordered 7mm mags, 6.5prc, 300s etc. and before someone asks, no word on 7prc yet unfortunately.

I have shot these 90s a lot and are a great unit

Correct. We have not been able to order standard 85 Finnlight for over 18 months now and they have not carried it through to the 90. Finnlight 2 is now Adventurer.

Any left handed carbon ones coming?

It’s a very nice rifle but too expensive for a factory rifle. I like the range of options, metal Mag, new trigger, light weight, and carbon stock but I can put a T3 in a carbon stock for less than half the price. OK, not as special, but will shoot just as well.

But it won't feel like a Sako

Very Nice @mcche171.

It's great to see southern hemisphere scenery. Some of that is Victorian Sambar country isn't it ?

Anyway, the Peak seems to be the successor to the carbonlight ?
Do you have any list of cartridges for the XS ? Tell them I want 6ARC or 6.5 Grendel.

Do you know what are the differences between the Quest and the Quest Ultra ?
I see the Ultra has a carbon barrel but what else ?
I'm looking for 300PRC.
And what's the story with 28 Nosler ? Is it the new "modern 7mm" ?

Finally, do they all come with muzzle brakes ? (The gun your mates don't like)

Hi

Yes the peak is the new Carbonlight. In XS you will only see .223. Unfortunately the 6ARC and Grendel wouldn’t sell 1/100th of the total number of units required to do R&D, production change etc etc.

On the Quest, yes Ultra refers to the carbon barrel. This barrel will show up in other models later down the track as well. Ie the Peak and S20.
300PRC is a hard one with huge initial demand and now a very steep decline. The 28 Nosler surprised everyone to be honest, but is good to see another option. Shows the power of the US market and their demands. For that reason alone I wouldn’t count out 300 PRC but is a 50/50 chance and I have not heard anything at our end.

Quest Ultra and Peak come with brakes.
