For me it's always about available funds.
Usually when something like this turns up I don't have any and when I do have the funds nothing turns up

Funny how life seems to work like that aye, people probably thought there was going to be a regular supply but ya never know what the Euro guys will do.

Used to have a large selection of cals available in NZ but seems very limited nowadays

I've had a couple of Sako carbons, I must admit I'm not a big fan of the fat pistol grip ( I am getting used to my latest though ) & in saying that I would expect them to be very strong ( in an area that can be a weak point on some rifles ) one other issue I had with my mod 85 Mag action 300wm wearing opti's was the action is so long it really limits what scope / position you can mount, shes friggen tight & lastly was the stock felt great with that tacky finish but holy crap mud destroyed it .


One thing with Sako / Tikka though is they take stuff on & improve, while my new 90 can't take opti's it does have an inbuilt weaver style rail so you have more mounting point options, the finish is of a bare - rough texture, my new one being a short action helps but it's still a very fat stock all round. It's a lovely rifle to shot n carry even in the shit weather on a very dodgy steep track Brads, hunts & I were on in the weekend it performed well.

Seems the only pic I have on file are of around the house hunting hahahaha



The old WM, this thing killed my fucked collar bone lol





The 90 Peak, I do love this set up, go Sako
