Thread: New Sako for 2014 - 85 Long Range

Changing to an integral Picatinny format would help sales too.

Can you make a wooden stock stable enough for .338 ? The brake looks elegant and perhaps a threaded option would also be worthwhile.

This isn't meant to be a target or tactical rifle. It's a lot lighter than the TRG.

Anyway - it this the only factory hunting rifle available in .338LM ? If so, cool !

There are plenty of hunting rifles in 338 Lapua, Remington, Savage & Weatherby that I know of

Sako would be reluctant to put sloped rails on their hunting rifles.

Plenty of European scopes only have 30-40 moa in them making them un-useable with a 20moa rail, also locally LR hunting is frowned upon IIRC
