Thread: Sako L461 in .20-222

It came together really nicely





Along the way it's worn a few different scopes, including a Sightron Big Sky 4.5-14x50, a Zeiss HD5 5-25x50, a beautiful Swarovski Nova 3-12x56 which I loved except being FFP, and now has a Swarovski Z6 2.5-15x56 which is perfect - stunningly clear under the spotlight.

Another aspect that makes it beautiful to shoot is the Maddco 3 lever trigger. Not many of these were made, and I was fortunate enough to pick up two through friend and fellow member here L461. These triggers can be adjusted down to mere ounces and are incredibly crisp. I have this one adjusted so it has some feel before breaking.





For loading I just use Winchester .222 brass that I have prepped (ream primer pockets, flashover deburring, skim neck turn) and size down using a Redding S type bushing die in .222 with a .20 cal bushing. Seating I just use my old Super Simplex press and .222 seating die.

All in all I've been very happy with how it has turned out and performs.
