Sako 90 (new range of models released)

No 270 Win :/

Is the varmint model going to come in 204 ruger?
Is the 22-250 in the varmint ( and also other range) come with a 1 in 8” twist as option?


I feel Sako missed a bit the boat when they released the S20 with only one length of action for every caliber up to 300 Wm.
They should have done a short/ medium action up to 6.5prc and a longer / beefier action to take all the long and magnum rounds up to the big nosler and ultra mag ( and even lapua and norma?)
That way they would have covered the Much anticipated long prc’s as well.
With an optional adapter to take the AICS mags. They probably would have sold like hot cakes!

So far, the "Varmint" doesn't have any actual varmint calibres.

I wonder if the XS action could be too narrow to take PPC sized cases.

No on the 204. That calibre was discontinued from all Tikka and Sako lines about 18-24 months ago. The sales of that were next to nil. I think we sold 4 units a year off the top of my head, so justification to keep it was hard.

Yes I agree. They are simply pumping out the bulk of the product SKUs ie 308s etc as it is easier to do mostly one action length and bolt face etc.

223 will come soon enough. PPC is unknown

Hopefully they're clever enough to make the xs action mag 5mm longer than previously

You must be joking gimp :D The mini action design has been around since the 50's and works fine as is. That would be Sako's biggest step forward ever....if they did it.

It's twisted for 80+gr, give it the mag length to use them!

Sako magazine internal lengths……..

75 in 223. 2.410 inches
85 in 223. 2.290

75 in 7mm08/308. 2.958
85 in 7mm08/308. 2.970

75 in rem mag/win mag. 3.733
85 in rem mag/win mag. 3.733

85 in 338 lap. 3.774


The smaller Sako mags will fit all but the most extreme needle nosed heavies, which use usually allows the time to single load
