Sako 90

[rellison312]

I'm considering getting one of these chambered in 7MM 08. Its my understanding that they haven't been released in the US yet (according to my local dealer). I would like to know if anyone has had the opportunity to handle one or better yet shoot one. I would also like to hear about any other experiences with Sako rifles in general as this will be my first.

Sakos are awesome, I have and have had several Foresters and many Finnbears as well as a couple 75s, all well below moa shooters and typically sub 1/2" moa. If the new ones follow suit, would most likely be a dandy!

I've owned/shot/hunted/loaded a few older Sakos in the early nineties. I was very impressed with the quality and accuracy of their rifles. Currently I think one of the very few cons is their twist rates and non barrel threading. There may be a few models with threaded barrels. '08 is a great cartridge and twist rate should not be a problem. Good luck!
