Just outta interest, have been offered a great deal on a Sako S20, they don't seem to be a big seller or overly popular, are quite heavy & very plasticie.
So was wondering if anyone has one & their thought on the rifle - setup ?
Cheers

likely very accurate - look like a disguised Tikka - finn lite II much nicer rifle - not at all popular so resale may be a problem
Step away
I have seen a vid of one with top of the line Pulsar thermal on top. Brutally accurate. In a farm block due to be planted in forest. Just mowing down deer all night long.Not a carry rifle but on a bipod just lethal.
A mate of mine got one in 6.5 prc, and it is really accurate. He has taken a hind at 750 yards with it.
A bit heavy but with its internal aluminium chassis it is almost like a hunting TRG rifle .
I have heard of feeding issues with the 10 rounds mag in certain calibers.
I think that where Sako missed the boat is that they should have made a short/medium action, for anything up to 6.5 prc/ 300wsm with bullets seated long, and a long action for anything from 6.5x55 up to the larger new calibers: 300 prc, the noslers series …etc.
Get a real Sako or just get a T3x Aspire or Strata.
Find a 75 and enjoy it

To keep it going a good 85 is plenty!Attachment 248725
Yep.
75/85/90 any day over the A7 and S20.

The Floating recoil lug would put me off
I like a thumb hole stock. Really, if the price was right I haven’t seen a compelling reason not to buy one. Especially for farm hunting/easier hunting and targets/gongs where precision is more important than weight. By “price is right” I’m thinking a hefty discount off the $3k retail.
I find a thumbhole stock feels a lot slower on the reload - but I'll admit I've never put the same rifle in two stocks and run a timer on it.
Mags are shit,Rifle feels cheap,probably the biggest cause of hassel on range nights after Blaser.
They sold a bunch for cheap over here,the follower was flipping in the mag and jambing the bolt forward,or the follower and a round would jamb up together. We looked at pulling the mags apart to see but they seem to be almost sealed.
One guy had problems with the rifle not going off too.
Avoid
I am trying to remember if we did get a mag apart once to see why the follower was flipping,can't remember honestly.Its hard to see a young fella with a nice new gun which is really a pos but you can't tell him. We were also limited to how much we could rip into the guns by the lack of tools on the range.Mag was a total soft plastic effort anyhow.
I was going to get one when they came out got told I was gay so never did[emoji23]

What a bunch of funny cunts hahahahaha
Yeah re the S20 - they do seem cheap n shity, Im not really sure why all these companies do these el cheapo's ( even though their RRP ain't cheap ) just stick to making decent stuff & Sako already make a budget rifle it's called a Tikka.
