    Enough of these plastic monstrosities
    Here's a real Sako = Mauser action, sako barrel, trigger and stock etc chambered in 8x60mm, before Sako made their own actions.

    Shit thats a bit more than the grip rubbing off. Looks like a bloody thin layer of epoxy on that. If its gets real bad and they wont replace it send it to me and i'll chuck a layer or two of diamond clear on it. No guarantees of course but worth a crack.

    Did you bang it or chip it and she's flaked off?

    Sako 90 Peak 7mm08

    Bit of an upgrade from the 85 finnlite I had. No soft touch crap on the stock and this action ejects the empty brass cases, every single time! What a treat haha. Loving it so far. Pretty sure I've tipped over most species with it now. Drilled some goats out past 500yds. Very happy. Now I want one in 223 haha
