It's bad enough that it has timber on it at all. About time Sako built another TRG-S type rifle. This is only half way there as it needs a nice carbon stock.

The lack of scope mounting options for 34mm rings is also going to be a pain.

Although I see on the Berger site that 11" twist is okay for their 210gr Hunter... Originally Posted by kokako

10 twist is much more sensible for a 30 & 338 cal as it 9-9.25 for a 7mm instead of 9.5........Europeans.... Originally Posted by Wildman

The whole tapered dovetail idea needs to be ditched for longer range shooting. My scope only has 10 mRad remaining before it tops out. Enough for hunting I suppose but at extreme end of the adjustment is not ideal. I suggest Sako make this action with a 5 mRad (or 20 moa) sloped mount or else offer 34mm ringmounts with the front one shorter to give this slope. Changing to an integral Picatinny format would help sales too. Originally Posted by ChrisF

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 !kokako likes this.
