Thread: Sako finnlight 2 in 308

OK I've had this sako finnlight 2 in 308 for a couple of years now. Killed a few animals. Seams that lately I've missed a couple and that has left me scratching my head and second guessing my self. I had fitted a Atec H3 Alock suppressor. So have shot a few groups to see what's going on. Tried 168 gr Hornady precision hunter, Winchester 150gr PowerPoint, Remington 150 gr corelock and others. Anyway I seam to be getting the first 2 shots touching or very close to then the next about 3/4 " away and then the next about another 3/4 " . So I have come to the conclusion that I just missed but my question to anyone else with a sako finnlight 2 in 308 do you have similar issues re barrel heating up so quickly? How many shot should you expect without a change in POI? Does fitting a suppressor cause changes to the barrel heating up?
Cheers Shane

Sounds like you need to sort out what ammo your suppressed rifle likes again. Its changes barrels harmonics and keeps heat.
Do three to four lots of 5 shots groups for each ammo, with a couple of minutes between shots to let the barrel and can cool down.

Give the sako 150 gameking a try mate its not fast but its accurate as in the 2 sako 308s I've used it in.

do you use the A-lok feature ie quickly detachable?
How does it shoot with no suppressor.

I think that you are probably right. I need to wait longer between shots. I'll start testing again.

Cheers for the heads up, probably makes sense to try sako ammo in a sako. Ive tried it in the 85 223 stainless varmint i have and wasn't that fussed, it shot about an inch.

Yeah got the Aloc. Bloody suppressor is hard to get off sometimes. I put a bit of high temp grease on the thread. Yes it is quick. I have not shot without the suppressor since buying the suppressor
