But I will go out on a limb and say I LIKE Sakos scope mounting system!
Can you readily get cheap Chinese produced crap mounts for cheap?no!....ok probably but I am bloody rough on gear when it comes to hunting guns and the Sako tapered mount with either the Sako mount or Lupy mount has NEVER caused me an issue in the field despite massive abuse!

wash thy mouth out......they both have a niche..... pig hunters love the levers and the single is about as safe as you can get for teaching young fella.

I still have a box of 30-30 Accelerator, .224 projectile, I think 55gr. Only fired one round so still got 19, bought it around 1990.

years back i acquired some 30 cal to 223 sabots. we were shooting them out of a 308 case in a barnard bolt action. never figured how fast we got them the chrono only went up to 5000 fps

.30-30, .308 and .30-06

Sabot hunting projectiles.
Got the bullet up to incredible velocities for long range varmints but were never accurate enough to be useful.
Beat me to it @Dermastor

The first one I bought brand new (lever) wouldnt even function with any ammo the shop had, the second replacement was just barely better and it shot like a mad womens shit.
Dad traded my birthright Lambergun on a rossi singleshot 308 and then got his not gunsmith mate to shorten and homemade suppress it......fail to fire regularly but no warranty as shortened,broke internal part....end of story many hours spent and fixed it myself but it is still a hunk of junk compared to that Lambergun that to this day was the only shotty I ever shot well with.

that is a tale or terror to be sure...... moral of story ...and this one is an old moral...if you are lucky enough to find a shotgun that fits PROPERLY ...do not under ANY circumstances sell it.

Yea it didn't fit "properly' but I shot well with it, thought it fit untill I went claybird shooting in a work team thing..shot well and surprised even myself but couldnt speak properly afterwards it had hammered my cheek so hard.
