    Sako A1 .223

    Got a rifle (a while ago), made a film. Need to replace that front bead with a square topped blade for a better sight picture. Have one in the mail fortunately.

    Well made film. You've put a bit of effort into this.

    And what an awesome wee rifle

    Great video as always. Is this in the Hunter hills by any chance? Or Haka valley perhaps?

    Still got my aperture for my old 308 SAKO. @gimp is yours a 222 one and for the longer shots did you rotate the sight for the higher setting? Nice vid.
