When you can NOT sell a good rifle........

[FOTIS]

What do you do when you can not sell your sako 75 in 300 RUM?

 

[FOTIS]

Easy, buy its twin in 7mm RUM! Loneliness sux!



What a disease!!!!

 

[Dwh7271]

:grin: well that's certainly a unique solution

 

[FOTIS]

Spendy but easy! LOL

 

[DrMike]

Good looking siblings. Works for me!

 

[FOTIS]

Doc... Do you own any SAKOS?

 

[DrMike]

Not a single one, though I have purchased two Tikkas as gifts for family members. I'm certainly shot a number of Sakos, and I consider them among the finest firearms I've been permitted to shoot.

Looking good Fotis. When you just can't have one so why not a second one.

While the good Dr has been influenced into purchasing a few Remington's, he has not yet been blessed by owning one of Finland's finest! He passed on a very nice older Sako Deluxe a while back (think it was a 358 Norma, before he had his built, but cannot recall for certain). I tried! (I guess I am just noticed the enabler that some others are! LOL)
If it had of been left handed it would have come home with me!
At least he got a Tikka for Noah!

Nice set of twins!

Will this lead to triplets? (338 RUm)
Or quadruplets? (375 RUM)

 

[FOTIS]

Will be trying these soon in both

 

[Dwh7271]

Haven't played with Sakos Fotis.
Is there some kind of "fix" for that ejector?

 

[FOTIS]

Just get higher rings play aft and fore with scope positioning or lowest turrets possible

 

[SJB358]

Great looking 7 RUM buddy.

 

[JD338]

Nice pair of rifles buddy.

What sorta speeds have you gotten from 175's and the 7 RUM Fotis?

It has to be a monster. Back about 10 years ago the local WalMart had a CDL in 7 RUM... it was beautiful and pretty cheap. I like those 7's...

Ya, I had a 700 CDL in .300 RUM.

For a while. Shot well, but it was a lot of cartridge in a pretty light rifle. It didn't stay around real long. I did appreciate the big cartridge though. Nice!


FOTIS - well, now you've got two of those nice rascals. Ought to be fun!

That's a terror of a load Fotis.

Fotis, of all the factory rifles I have had the privilege of shooting the one that I remember the best is my cousin's Finnbear in the 338win. It was as smooth as 20 year sipping Whiskey :wink:!
Very nice my Friend.

Blessings,
