[QUOTE="Idaho Trecker, post: 947373, member: 67706"] They list all sorts of cartridges for that model on the sako website but for some reason only a few of them are sold in the US. All I've seen are 204, 223, 243, and 308 in that model. About the longer bullets... yes you would need to go with their 06 length action. It would probably be easier and cheaper to buy a used sako 75 or 85 with the action size you want and build from there. I have a sako 75 in 270 and its a great rifle... I have no issues with the 75. I have bought a 85 in 243 and just had it rechambered to 6mm ackley and a 85 in 300 win mag to a 300 dakota. Unless you want a specific barrel i would say shoot up the factory one first since they have been so accurate in my experience. The downside to sako is a very limited aftermarket. [/QUOTE]
