Mark V or Sako

[switchbackkd]

Does any one build or use a Mark V or Sako for long Range.

I use both Weatherby's and Sako's and they seem interesting. I've got a lightweight Sako out there I'm getting reports of 3" groups at over 600 yards with a #1 contour on it with a low power scope on it.


Here it is in the white. I do shoot better with my LRH cap on.

It's a 7-08AI. Here is how it shot with unfireformed random load for proof test.

Both make fine long range rifles.

I use the Mark 5 on the bigger cases with case heads larger than .580 because of the strength
and size of the bolt and the action of the MK 5.

Use the Sako on the .540 case heads and the Mark 5 on the larger ones.

Just my opinion
