[QUOTE="Zerk, post: 1310570, member: 84595"] The Finss were making rifles before the Italians bought them. Some people seem to think the Sakos are one of the more accurate rifles from the factory right now. Some people here don't seem to like them. My guess was they were building it to stabilize a certain grain. Maybe marketing ploy. I have read 1:10 will work for 200 grain and maybe 220. But you would struggle to find any factory ammo in that weight. So maybe they figured why make a twist that will fire something no one is using. One thing I like about them, is the quite safeties. I can't understand why more companies don't make a quite safety. 700s suck. Kimbers suck. Savages are little better. But Sakos are quite. Their magazines lock tight. Mixed feeling on being made in Finland, and not USA. I won't buy Brownings, made in Japan. [/QUOTE]
