[QUOTE="Wookie316, post: 313048, member: 18820"] Well I picked up this freshy barreled AV action Sako from a fellow on Saturday & thought I'd post a picture or 2. This rifle was supposed to be for my Dad, but now after getting it all back together & the barrel channel fitting properly, I am not so sure I want to give it to him anymore? :confused: Here are all the details: Sako AV Magnum action S/S Matte finish 7mm Rem Mag Sako profiled Ted Gaillard barrel finished @ 24 1/4" with recessed crown. Sako Hunter Wood stock @ 13.5 LOP. I do have a McMillan in the closet I am considering putting on instead? Trigger set to 3lbs. After Market detachable 3+1 round magazine. Leupold rings & mounts. Leupold Vari-X III 3.5x10x40mm gloss duplex. Reloading begins tomorrow. 140gr Nosler pills to start with.

It shot fine but had a bulge in the barrel about half way down the pipe. Copper fouling was terrible, so I opted for one of Ted's fine replacements. Range Report to follow. :) [/QUOTE]
