Still don’t like them
Unless they cause you to sell a Sako to me or you to not need that last bottle of 2208 then I like them
You can’t argue with classic lines.

The S20 has a heavier profile than your standard Sako or tikka.
It is actually almost the same profile as the new tikka Veil, with its 5/8-24 thread.
If one gunsmith has the opportunity to take an s20 barrel out, it would be interesting to see if that barrel tenon and head space has the same dimensions has the standard tikka t3 or Sako 85 tenon dimensions. In which case you could swap the original barrel for a lighter one.
Who would like to volunteer? :-)
( of course that long mid weight barrel could easily be chopped down to 18" ... or less ;-)
A mate as the s20 hunter model in 6.5prc, shoots and functions really well with precision hunter ammo. He likes the added weight as doesn't usually have to carry it far and does a bit of LR gong shooting.
Thats the market they were aimed at isn't it?Quote:

There is a s20 here in the humping and fisting store in Blenheim ,i pretty certain its a 6.5 Creedmoor . I have held and dont think that much of it .It looks like they used bits of both rifles to make a hybrid one .
Don’t be silly @buzzman just get another carbonlight! [emoji16] wish I still had mine that’s for sure [emoji31]

All Sakos are over rated and over priced. That's the truth.
Bring it on Sakoboys.
:super:
No farkin idea what that emoji means but looks cool.
Only beaten by Tikka for their better value for money but then they are made in the same factory so I still call that a win for Sako :DQuote:

It’s the best Tikka / Sako comment I’ve ever heard @buzzman, one for the archive that!
