The old man got lucky years ago, shitty old Parker Hale and a broken pump action shottie got stolen when our house got burgled. Ended up with this beautiful Sako .270 from insurance. Always remember the store owner when we picked it up, saying he'd have kept it for himself if he hadn't unpackaged it the day we picked it up. Taken hundreds of deer and still going strong with the original 2.5 - 8x VXIII 25 years later

@McNotty what caliber?
Edited post, mighty poo seventy. Shit I had some good ear ringers over the years. Bloody cannons that they are.Quote:

Stock fit helps.
Always thought 270 worse.
I have a spare sight protector for that model if you would like it.Quote:

I'd get another in a heart beat, great well made rifles and accurate to boot, some trigger work needed if your as finiky as me but not really needed.
pm me if you would like the protector.
Just cause I’m bored at home so gave some stuff a oil up

All good apart from the crocs.
@jakewire If Beavis doesn't want that front sight protector can I grab itQuote:

You would be much better off with a stopping rifle check out Forgotton weapons.Quote:

Looks mint @jakewire. What sort of ring/base system are you running on it?Quote:

That stock looks pretty sweet already. My one's all dinged up, and I'm hesitant refinishing it when it'll just get banged up anyway.
Have got a spare front wood bit free if you want it.
For a sako A2?Quote:
