    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 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.

    Looks nice. What have they done for the bedding system of the Sako 90?

    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

    Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing, and right-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.
