Yes @kokako 85SS 7mm08. Scope is 3-12×50 PMII P3 reticle, without illumination. So, very similar to your setup.

@rossi.45 just wondering do you ever swap the barrel on your sako quad ?

Its interesting we are seeing a few new (bucket list) rifles on this thread which i suppose perform well largely due to their owners having some experience behind them and also at last the money to buy them. However they are outnumbered by golden oldies: BSA, Stirling, SMLE etc. No one has listed a magnum or a tikka yet have they even though they could be technically " better" than most of rifles mentioned so far.

Good idea for a thread @Tahr.

@Tahr.

yes but not often . .. if i had set up the Quad with high rings and a short scope or Warne rings with the levers it would be easier ( the barrel has be tipped up at a steep angle to remove ) but i think you would still have to check zero which kinda defeats the quick change idea ( must try it one day to find out ) . . . to me its more to try different calibers and see if you like them or replace the barrel with a different style without a gunsmiths services.

i liked the lightweight sporter so much i got the RANGE when one came up at a good price . . good slick actions with only a few negatives that i can live with
