Thread: Sako S20

Bought one of these on Friday, took it back today and went with a T3x instead.
Pretty disappointed to be honest.

Why did I take it back....

Majors issues:
Bolt not picking up the first round out of the mag when 3 loaded into the mag. It worked fine with only 2 rounds.. but not with 3. I tried this MANY times... to no avail.
Bolt VERY hard to close when a round loaded in (it left marks on the back of the brass!)

Minors issues:
Magazine was rattly - even when loaded.

What I really liked/wanted:
Thumbhole stock
Ali Chassis
QD mounts
Adjustable cheek riser
Threaded & Fluted heavy contour bbl
Cerakote bbl & Action

Bugger, that makes it pretty hard to get keen on them. I was just starting warm to the idea based on the comments so far.
