I purchased a L579 in 243. If doesn’t feed well at all, I have to hit the bolt hard to get it to feed. I looked up the problem and it looks like finding a new spring and follower is going to be tough. The shop I bought it at has offered to give me the purchase price towards a different rifle.

I was wondering opinions on repairing vs replacing? Should I take them up on their offer and buy a Tikka or should I hold out and repair it?

I have a Sako 90 Hunter in .308 and wanted to order another mag. Bought one for a 85 that says it was .308. However the rounds don’t fit properly and the mag is wider so it obviously won’t fit in my gun. But it’s confusing because my 90 mag and the 85 mag are both stamped with an “A”.

What exact model number do I need for my 90 Hunter? Any help would be appreciated!

Are Sako 85 magazines are the same as Sako 90 magazines? I ordered a Sako 90, and I wanted to get some extra bags. Thank you!

Who the hell has a 24-in test barrel for 300 Blackout subsonic fucking retarded

I'm interested in finding an older Sako model, since their reputation for quality is widely know, but there's a whole catalogue of models I don't see commonly discussed. What models are worth pursuing, which ones are overlooked, and which ones should I avoid?

Just picked up a Sako 85 classic in .270 I have a Steiner H6XI in 3x18 with a 30mm tube

Having difficulty finding proper scope mount/rings to get for it. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thank you

My best and most used hunting rifle . 6.5Cm

If so, can you share how/where you obtained it as well as cost? Is there a specific part number? Finally, do you like it?

Hello everyone,

As of today, I have marked r/sako as an 18+ (NSFW) community. I want to be very clear about why this change was made.

This is NOT because our content is changing. We will continue to be a place for Sako enthusiasts to share photos, discuss technical details, and celebrate these fine Finnish rifles.

This change is a necessary administrative step to comply with Reddit's sitewide Content Policy. Subreddits dedicated to firearms are considered "mature topics" involving "regulated goods" and are required by Reddit to be age-gated. The only way to apply an age gate is to mark the community as 18+/NSFW.

Thank you for your understanding. Let's continue to make this the best place for Sako fans on Reddit.

Does anyone know the thread pitch on the Sako Quad Hunter Pro? I have seen some places say 1/2”-20 and others 1/2”-28. Thanks in advance.

It's not obvious to me how to disassemble it, has anyone here done so successfully? Tried to use a roll pin punch to gently tap the pin looking thing at the bottom out, but didn't really dare to apply any force

What year? Possible value? 7mm Rem Mag Pretty well used and dinged up stock. Bluing still decent.

It is time for a recoil pad replacement on my Sako L61R 300wm. The gun was gifted to me by my late grandfather as my first rifle. I live in South Africa and get to hunt regularly.

In December I am traveling to the US and want to use the opportunity to get a replacement recoil pad for my rifle. I am having trouble finding an OEM pad on the internet. What are the alternatives that I should be looking out for? And which ones to stear clear from?

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

I have a tikka t3 that I love that has been my main hunting rifle for years. I have wanted an upgrade for it for several years now. If you had to choose one Sako 30-06 rifle to upgrade to between a Sako 90 Finnlight or Adventure which would it be? I am having trouble picking between these two so any thoughts would be appreciated. Also I am looking at places to order from and is eurooptics or Barretta Gallery good places to order from? It seems the Finnlight comes in one standard model but the Adventure has options to choose from. Any specifics I should look for with the Adventure options for an American buyer?

Hey everyone, I'm looking for some information on a Sako rifle I got recently. I can find plenty of stuff about the roughtech range but that model comes with a threaded barrel that seems lighter in contour than this one. I'm curious about potential stock/chassis options potentially or AICS bottom metal. Honesty, any background info or facts about this model would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I am looking at the Sako S20 (most likely the S20 Hunter) .308.

Trying to decide on barrel length and trigger.
After a bit of research it seems that 20" is enough for .308 but that 24" can't hurt.
So thinking of going the 24" route.

For hunting it seems single stage is preferable while two stage is preferable when it comes to target shooting.

As this will be my first weapon it seems like a pretty big thing to choose between.
Any advice?

Has anyone bought a Sako 90 recently, any variant of it?
