yes I want one in a 375H&H but I don't think they have one as of yet it's called the Grey Wolf

I got one back in August and posted a field report. Of the many Sakos I've shot and owned this by far has the smoothest action and fit/finish. It comes with a #2 contour target crowned bbl, free floated, with all the trimmings, gauranteed sub MOA.

It is NOT a Syn Stock...rather a weather proof gray/black maple laminate. Mine is in .270 Win and shoots 0.188" with factory 130gr Sierras....0.160 with factory Hornady 140 SSTs. Why reload with those results? :oops:

I absolutely LOVE IT! :grin:

Big Tom is that at 100yds? I always shoot to 200yds thats why I ask.

Big Tom, that is some great shooting there. I am sure it is 100 yards. I think Sako makes a extremely good rifle.

Hey Redhawk1, whatya mean a xtreamly good rifle?

Sako makes the best production line gun available. I was lucky being stationed in Germany while in the military. Sako's were cheap through the Rod and Gun Clubs so I picked up a bunch of them. I have bounced several of these guns around the world hunting. I have never had a problem with a Sako, and don't remember talking to anyone else that has.

Whatever you buy with the Sako name on it will be an outstanding asset to your collection. :roll: :roll: :roll:

I saw Big Tom's targets. Absolutely disgusting how those Sako rifles can shoot . The groups were at 100 yds. And this rifle had less than a box of shells through it when he posted these results. It is the kind of rifle that makes even a so - so shooter like me look good.

The Tikka T3 shoots 1/2" at 100yds. Maybe better I am not the best bench shooter. This is the only Tikka out of the four I have that took a while to break in. It walked around the target for a while and after about 15 shots it settled down to MOA or less. The other Tikkas were spot on right out of the box. I shoot and clean every shot for the first five the every other shot through fifteen. These guns are truely awesome!!

I am aware of the sako gray wolf, I saw on another web-site that they were coming out with a new model of ss/syn. Just wondering if that is true.
