A rare thing.
I only saw three in nz. Two repeater, and one single shot.
And this one currently in france: https://www.naturabuy.fr/SAKO-6-PPC-...-10559989.html
Looks the same as my one :)Quote:

Have done a load development for a customer with the same rifle, serial # pretty close to mine & a single shot 22PPC he also has
We had one of those years ago sold it [emoji23]

Checked again and the alert has been removed
It could still be there
Will ring tomorrow
I reckon you could be in. Good luck!
I wondr what size action it is ?
What are you thinking of doing with it 7mm ?
7x33 Sako. It was on a similar action but as a repeater .
But different head diameter.
How’d you get on @7mmsaum ?Quote:

you know there is a REAL Tikka in .243 just come up for sale...its 6mm and nearly a sako
Worked on one just the other day. First time I ever saw a 7x33. Nice wee rifle
I fist saw one of these (a repeater too) in the closed Wellington gunshop up the gorge many years ago. Man I lusted after that rifle for years. Now after thinking it through I've just intitated a 6mm ARC (which is for all intents and purposes the same thing but fast twist) with Jaco Goosen. Sounds like we are on a similar page, I'm planning to run wind resisty boolits for wallabies . . .
Scott showed me this rifle when he had it about a year ago. Beautiful condition.
A friend and myself ordered from Ron Dent (Reloaders owner back then) two single shot heavy barrel (varmint) Sako 6PPC rifles back in 1991. Because the NZ agents at that time, Allan G Mitchell had never heard of them; no surprises there. They had just been released on to the U.S. market at that time. We used those rifles for 4 position NZDA competitive shooting and broke a few accuracy records with them. They were a Sako Vixen action but single shot. Also available in the repeater, heavy barrel (exactly the same as the .222 Vixen heavy barrel) and a hunter profile barrel. Have never seen the hunter profile one in NZ. I know of three people who own the single shot heavy barrel model.
It wouldnt be as much fun to own and it wouldnt shoot as tight.Quote:

well not to split hairs but it sure as shit would splat hares out to about as far as you wanted to do so if it was anything like 99.9% of EBRGs Ive had anything to do withQuote:

I have seen a single shot one that got converted to 17 Mach4
There are not many of them around :(
A Sako 6PPC in REAL good nick just came accros my way. There is some in NZ. Luckily the owner did not want to sell yet....
nice repeater example just sold on TM for $2,150
Well I have got two, that i am selling, However i would have Import them from Canada,
sako A1 6ppc sporter, (floor plate) with an extra barrel, https://store.prophetriver.com/consi...nal-tikka-box/
And a Sako Stainless, III Action, target repeater, (12lbs Bare) 1-12 twist Kreiger #17 barrel, Brown Sako laminated stock, .268 neck, sitting just about 800 rounds, on the barrel, boringly accurate, Spare PPC mag .3 normally for 5 rounds at 100, I have done groups into the .25, but i am a bit inconsistent, I post up sum phots if your interested,
Also sitting on a couple Coopers single shots, that would fit the bill, 20 Vartarg, (Montana Varmint) (9,10 Z) and a 6x47 Remington classic sporter, most accurate sporter rifle i have ever owned, it shoot almost as good as my Target 6PPC, 1/2" 5 shots groups at 200m, with 75 Serria HP.
Reason i am offering this info, as i am applying for Fire arm Import permits this week, for a couple other rifles, I am Normally back in NZ for six weeks in April/May, due to us relocating back to NZ, work, etc, I will be back more often for 10-12 days, at a time, likley starting March.
Brass, ammo, dies is aviable for all above rifles.
If intrested, message. I will hold off import permint for a few days.
Photes are a good thing,

3 die set, 100 new Nosler .222 mag brass, 160 (2-4) fired Nosler brass, curranty sitting on 66 loaded rounds, 70 BTip, 55 Btip, 60 Serria Hpoint,

Rifle is 1-14 twist, so limited to a flat base bullet, in the 75-80gr range, rifle is 7lbs fitted with a Z3 3x12x50 BT, scope is not included in price, if someone wants a package deal, I want replacement value for scope, (1200 Cad) as I have a 5.6x50R Blaser K95 barrel coming.
That Cooper......
Oh bugger for me, it's a single shot aye?Quote:

Having said that, the old sako isnt a benchrest action. Its designed for small game hunting or positional shooting so 0.5 moa on a good day and not expecting teens.
Post a few groups with reloading data alongside groups youve shot with a known good rifle the same day.
Had another crack with it today with better results after going from 65vmax to 65 berger, was new barrel with zer rounds through it when i got it so barrel probably settling in a bit now.Quote:

I've had the best accuracy with a flat base bullet, in the 6ppc, 6x47 and 6x45,
in the ppc, 62-65gr mostly, but every 1-14 twist rifle, I've owned has shot the 75gr Serria (1510) bullet extremely well, suitable for deer at reasonable ranges.
Tony Titheridge would probably beg to differ on a statement that a L461 is merely a hunters gat for boofing foxes,bunnys,etc that'll go 1/2".He showed me not in a bragging way a group punched by a vanilla trebly that was well better than one ragged hole.If only I could shoot that good.If i did ,I'd go looking for the other 4 flyers from the 5 shot group.Quote:
