Do we have anyone up to speed with these
Availability date in Nz ?
Price ?
Price of an extra barrel ?
Weight?
Lets hope they come in underneath the Blaser's Et Al so a few of us can actually afford one.

what exactly is a Sako 100 ????got any juicy specs or details....unfortunately work doesn't believe I should be googling such things :oh noes:
Looks interesting....will be eye-watering level expensive.... and even with the switch barrel system - you may be better off owning multiple different rifles - can only use one at a time (can't lend one to a mate if you've only got one trigger...)
On the flipside... will likely only be a matter of time before another manufacturer seizes on this approach if it's what the market wants :cool:
I looked it up: https://www.sako.fi/rifles/sako-100Quote:

Switch barrel Sako with scope mounting on each barrel, two interchangeable stock options, walnut and weaved carbon
agreed the walnut one looks great.
Caliber options, -243 Win, 308 Win, 6.5 CM, 6,5x55 SE, 270 Win, 30-06 Sprg, 8x57IS, 9.3x62, 300 Win Mag, 7 mm Rem Mag and 375 H&H
If it was affordable and not too heavy Ie R8 heavy, it would do me, I'd keep my 223 and have the 100 with three barrels.
Ha............. I wish.
still waiting for someone to post pics and specs.....you guys are killing me :o
Q4 release in stores. That'll be Q1 2023 for NZ I'd say....
....the long walk to 18:00....Quote:

Ahh well maybe its coming,, fingers crossed!!!!
Hi team. We are a little in the dark on timing as demand is through the roof. We have ordered both the carbon and wood options for the NZ market. Our pricing is being negotiated as we originally ordered it with a standard safety as opposed to the full de cock.
I have had a play with our sample and am very impressed with the quality. It has since gone back to Finland now than the police have approved it. Once the factory opens the new codes for us to order from, we will know final pricing and eta.
Sorry I’m not more helpful here!
Patience.
Thanks for letting us know what you can.

Switch-barrel rifles have been around for over 100 years, usually of top-quality manufacture and an interesting option for the well-heeled. The sad reality is that no switch-barrel set is as good as a selection of individual rifles that usually cost less and perform better. From a purely practical point of view (the accumulation of nice items aside) multiple rifles in appropriate calibres are always ready to go, no mucking around changing barrels, checking sights, making sure you have fitted to correct magazine, not losing the assembly tool, etc. I am not saying that such things are not nicely made or nice to own, just that they are impractical for NZ hunting. Such rifles would always be assembled in the appropriate calibre before leaving home (you couldn't safely leave your fitted case and spare barrels in your vehicle, nor could you carry the case with you unless you had a bearer) and the chances are that you would stick with one favourite barrel anyway. Merely my observation!

that new blazer looks nice
where's this sako you were talking about
God damn that’s hideous the bolt shroud ruins the whole rifle
You only need one caliber it’s 300WSM :thumbsup:
I'd probably go rem mag of the available calibers listed :o woukd love to get my hands on one in the flesh
I believe it is the same and is one action length. The bolt has a twin plunger so no need to pull it all the way back as the shell i pulled out threw itself 3 meters across the room!. The one i have played with was a 308 and it was a full mag with an insert at the rear. This was pre production, so not sure how it will be once it hits the main production line.Quote:

Will either rule it in.....or out :DQuote:
