I love sako's, Got Another.......

[FOTIS]

one is added to the stable.

It seems that I am completely hooked on their accuracy and great quality. Saw this 75 in 300 RUM and could not turn away.



so know I have
7mm rum Sako 75 DELUXE
308 sako finnwolf
30-06 Tikka T3 camo SS
300 RUM sako 75 SS/Synthetic
30-378 Sako M995 TRGS

That's why you can't afford another scope for the .378.

So it seems your addiction has moved from Weatherby's to Sako's.

His addiction :shock: now that is it :lol: addiction :mrgreen: plain and simple. Now I thought I had it bad, but I think it is possible that you are making me feel normal again FOTIS :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Oh, great rifle and cartridge there my friend.

 

[FOTIS]

My addictions has always been Bees sakos and Ruger #1's. They just shift time to time.

They do not make the 75's anymore so I had to get it.

As for the 378 scope issue, I just can not see it wearing a $2k 30 ounce scope. That is where the problem lies.
I would rather sell it.

Maybe a sightron S3? But that is another thread!

They are nice and light and shoot better than they should. I just doubled up on T3 lights. 300wsm and 270wsm. They are on their way.

Nice find Fotis.

Great catch, Fotis. Sakos can be quite gratifying for the confirmed shoot-aholic.

I don't own a Nightforce either Fotis. I think they are probably worth the money but I can build a rifle with a Leupold for less than a Nightforce alone. Not only that but why deal with the additional weight unless you have to. I don't really need one so I've never bought one. I've had friends with them though and they are nice albeit bulky and heavy.

If I was you I'd try a Sightron. I had a couple friends with them on .358STA's and they held up perfectly.

I was at the range with a fellow shooting a 30-378 this afternoon. He had topped it with a Nikko Sterling! Of course, he had only put twenty rounds through it so far. On the other hand, the reason I was conscious of the scope was that his groups were growing as he shot. He assured me that he was not flinching, and I commented on his scope.

I've heard a lot of positive on the Sightron scopes, though I've never used one. Were they more commonly available to me, I would no doubt try them on one of my rifles. I'll watch for your assessment should you pick it up.

Sightron SIII's have a good reputation for build and optics. They are Japanese and are solid design.

Congratulations on the Sako. I have owned a few over the years and think very highly of them, including the Model 85 which I presently own.

 

[SJB358]

Congrats on that Sako Fotis. That 300 RUM is a killer cartridge for sure.

Looking forward to seeing what you go to for optics as well.. It is like reading a never ending book watching your rifle cycles! Love it.

Might be worth a call to Sightron to run the plan past them too.

 

[FOTIS]

Roger that!

Fotis,

Great rifle. Lucky I didnt find it first! I own the same rifle in 300WM and 338WM. I also own a Finnlight 85 in 300WSM. All of my Sakos are very accurate and actions are so smooth. I love them dearly. Brian

 

[Woodycreek]

I like it! That should be great speed goat killer :lol: Think I will be waiting in the Classifieds for this one when you get bored with it.

I thought I was the only one waiting for Fotis leftovers. :grin:

 

[Woodycreek]

I think Fotis has more than a few rifle fans on here :mrgreen:

SWEET COLLECTION.

Me I love my Sako m75 rifles too!

m75 Grewolf 300WSM, 338-06 Ackley Improved
