    Sako advice needed.

    Need some advise that someone hopefully has a simple answer for.
    Have a Sako A2 action with a trueflite bbl in it (chambered in 22cm). Wondering it like the 75’s, will a tikka barrel thread in to the older Sako A2 action?
    Looking at swapping the barrel if it’s easy to the likes of a 6.5 or 308 to make selling/trading easier.

    Yes it will thread in, the issue is the more modern barrel has a longer thread length by quite a bit.
    The two solutions are :
    Either machining a threaded sleeve spacer to make up for that space,
    Or trimming down the back on the new barrel and pushing the chamber a bit dipper to headspace properly.
    rupert, Tentman, flock and 2 others like this.
