Good looking set up, not a thang wrong with a Sako or the 7mm mag. Was wondering how the stock feels in your hands ?

[@bradabbott4892]

I have 4 sakos from back in the 1970s I bought in Germany while in the military don't know much about the new models but all my rifles will shoot a dime at 100 they are a finnwolf a finnbear a vixen and a forester calibers are 222, 243, 3006, 264.

[@dgibraltar]

That is probably your easiest and best 100m sight in. Compliments of the season and all the best for 2022 to the WTW family and by extension, all your supporters. Take care and be safe.

Hard NOT to love a Sako :) I have two in 375 H&H that I've kept for almost 50 years...

[@PaulHamM3]

I have the sako S20 chambered in 6.5 creedmoor and use homeloaded 143g hornady ELDX and i must say it is the most accurate rifle i have ever used , the action is smooth as a babys bum and the trigger is up to the typical sako high standard, i have not experienced any issues at all with this weapon at all and i have to say it is the most accurate rifle i have ever owned.

[@jackvaniciaadams4089]

Nice. Super nice... Scope cost? Total cost as gun sits?? Gun cost alone?. Would love to buy one. 7mm mag is my favorite and go to hunting rifle. Remington.

[@mbonneau79]

Huge Sako fan here, the S20 released to some issues when reviewed overseas but I'd be interested in how it works out. There is a Sako factory tour video posted in partnership with Stoeger that shows the amount of work that goes into the Tikka and Sako rifles (showng 85's and T3x rifles being built). If I had to pick a single rifle for the rest of my days, Sako 85 would be right up there.

[@jacobihofer574]

Watched that same vid a week ago damn nice video.I run tikkas and there just awsome

[@CoryH]

I'm also a big tikka fan can't beat em for the price

[@leedee9722]

No feeding issue on mine

[@hoosierplowboy5299]

[@atomicoutdoors8631]

When is the video ur fans are in coming out

[@garypollard9770]

That is a nice rifle! That 7 mm mag is probably the biggest that I, myself, would go. I like that scope I may have to try one of those! Just got a .308 Weatherby I bought myself for Christmas. Haven’t got to get out to shoot it yet but that will happen within next day or two!

[@stevekelley2341]

Did you figure out what was going on with your scope at 200 yards ?

[@WHOTEEWHO]

[@guardianminifarm8005]

Great rifle, great caliber/round, good ammo, nice set up. All the gun you will ever need.

[@chrissheathewoodguy]

nice bigg bang, love the 7 mm rem mag. sold mine a few years back. wish i had not.

[@retkar1]

Sako rifles are like potato chips, you can’t stop at just one!

[@TheWVgoodguy22]

Wow that was super quick and super slick with the 2 shot sight in then followed up by a 3/4 inch 3 shot group. I have always wanted a Tikka which is a sister company but these Sako are sweet too. I like the feature set on this rifle even though I am not sure if I would use the QD sling mount holes 🕳 which detracts from the looks. I am a fan of a thumb hole stock like I have in my CVA Optima V2 muzzleloader.

[@codyoslin6594]

I think if I was you I'd sell your 500 Jefferys and buy more bullets for this gun. Nice shooting

[@ottokittel709]

I have the 300 win mag with the hunter strata Camo butt stock, and the precision forearm with matching Camo . being hybrid adjusting the length of pull, plus can adjust the trigger forward/rear just shy of 1/2 inch makes a real custom fit thus makes a real charm to shoot for short or extra large stature shooters. If the rifle stock does not fit the shooter well, you probably won't shoot as well. having over 300 rifles in the walk in vault ready to hunt, I will say this sako rifle is my favorite. their was some issues from some, but none in this rifle. 1/2 inch groups @ 100 yd with handhloads, right out the gate. 4-16x50 Zeiss glass and night force, ultra light rings directly mounted to the pic rail milled into the action makes for solid scope mounting for the 300 win mag thumper. sako muzzle break and the extra weight of the precision forearm weight tames the 300 mag to a pussy cat.

[@darrylpacholko5495]

I have a Sako, it's awesome! The tolerances and machining are so precise. It's an A7 soft touch in 25 06 rem. Tack driver.

[@seeratlasdtyria4584]

Compliments on the A7, AND the 25 06 choice. People I've met shooting that cartridge all have one thing in common...they KNOW what the hell they're doing.

[@jdheatmag]

I've got a Sako 85 Finnlight in .25-06 and it's a dream to shoot. 115gr nosler partitions have never let me down over the past 5 years and 20+ deer I've killed with them.

[@CoryH]

See if you can find some federal fusion for it, my tikka loves that ammo

[@joshpittman6021]

My t3 25-06 also loves fusions.

[@FourHorsemen-k2y]

Excellent review on the Sako S20 👍 I’m torn between the Grizzly and the S20 🫠

[@Chris_Garman]

The only thing Sako/Tikka rifles lack is a double stack. There may be a good reason for it but that is the only complaint that I hear from owners.

[@adamcornell6738]

Man that's a nice looking rifle. Do you have an email I can send you a pic to? I got a gnarly still shot from my lever action the other day I'd like to share.

[@jiveturkey9993]

You getting a Sako Rifle and how your videos have been lately I would say it's safe to assume that you've weathered those bumps in the road that life is thrown at you this last year or maybe more. I'm really glad to see that. Happy New Year to you and your family!

[@jeffreestylefpv5907]

that was impressive for a new barrel to shoot that group ..wow

[@Chris_Garman]

Not from a quality manufacturer like Sako.

[@lenzadlberger]

European Quality Rifle plus European Quality Ammo (Norma) = fine to go

[@jdheatmag]

Sako fires all of their rifles to ensure accuracy before leaving the factory. If it doesn't make the cut, it doesn't ship out.

[@justinswann8500]

If u would leave the lead sled at home all ur guns with recoil will shoot better

[@gzzacordeon]

I bought one of these in 2020. It groups really nice at least with the Hornady 140 gr. Match ammo which is what ive tried on it so far. I have it in 6.5 Creedmoor btw. Nice group you got there.

[@gearhead682010]

Awesome video as per your usual my friend, really digging the bone stock accuracy. Less than 3/4” at 100 yards is very acceptable and I’d bet if you figure out exactly which bullet it really likes you can shrink that group even farther, maybe less than .5 moa 😊

[@digsterdude]

Nice shooting bud , love 7mm rem mag.

[@CircleBrewery]

I’d say that’s 1/2 inch group center to center 🤩

[@knoxmotorsports]

I just got one though a. Family member built custom A3o3 action, stock looks just like the 1959 Weatherby. Its a very good shooter in the lead sled , have 300,00 in it

[@williamcrane8236]

Looks like a sweet bingbang. Just wanted to tell ya I finally started using your paper plate target trick. Didn't even have to go get my own supply, I take the "Clean" ones out of the burn pile. Why, we have to buy heavy duty members mark "Coronet style" paper plates, give it to a kid with a sandwich and some chips on it and then just toss it" I know, sanitary. I make it more so buy putting some lead topping on it. Seriously, you can't tell they've been used. Trace a penny on the back , maybe 5. Spend my money on something else. I feel so much better doing this then having the dog lick em clean and then putting them back in the bag. Real plates, got no problem with that but paper, ehhh that don't seem right.

You should really keep the same point of aim and shoot 3 rounds at least before adjusting your sights. That way you get to account for your group size at the same time.

[@MR_Garage]

Very nice! I just installed those same aireus scope rings on my build. Every piece of titanium was a different color so I used 150 grit and then red scotch brite to give it a brushed look. Turned out sweet. Being a floating type mount (both clamps free vs 1 side) I will be lapping the rings this weekend as they sit to see how far off they are.

[@brandonyoung7760]

So after getting the Weatherby Mark V do you like it better than the Siko? Looking at the Weatherby mark v live wild, Siko or Tikka t3x super varmint. I'm sure if anyone had hands on experience it'd be you. Thanks a lot. Btw all in 7 Rem.

You get what you pay for Sako, Tikka, Mauser, Sauer, Blaser, Merkel, Haenel, Heym and Steel Action and so on, the big Scandinavian and German Manufacturers (sry i forgot Steyr and Austria ;P) doesnt disappoint you on the Range I have never shot one of these Rifles that not can do these Groups day after day and i have shot a lot of these We Germans / and most other Northeuropeans have a different Mindset when we buy a Rifle the vast majority of our Hunters and Sportshooters go for class instead of mass

[@gblackburn31]

@@lenzadlberger unless it's a 50BMG ...a 7mm ain't worth no $1,600 price tag. A Remington 770 for $249 will do everything a $1,600 will do and I know I've done several comparisons myself . As long as the pin meets the primer then the rest is the shooter at that point

[@lenzadlberger]

@@gblackburn31 ok you dont really want to compare a Sako to a 249$ Remington 770? I dont think you apreciate a smooth Action a rigid and Solid Stock and bedding a trigger that doesnt creep all over the place and a Barrel that last your lifetime And when it is true that every cheap Rifle can do the same why are so many Videos out there from what i say crappy Groups out of cheap American Rifles Ok go with your remington than put a good trigger in it and a Solid Stock and bedding and a good Barrel at the end you still have a flimmsy Action that is rough .... i would everytime go with a Sako or one of the other European Manufacturers My newest Rifle is a Steel Action HS in 308 (not available in the US) it is a young Company from Cologne Germany, the Action is a Dream come true (even smoother than a Sako or Sauer) the Barrels are from Lothar Walther or from Heym (depends on the Caliber) the trigger can be adjusted from 600-2000gr and Breaks like Glas it shoots 5 shot Groups of 15-25mm day in day out at 200 Meters with some different Ammo i have put in there it is such a pleasure to handle it yes it cost 2000€ but how often do i buy a new Rifle .....

Your unboxing video of this bing bang really caught my attention. This video cemented my decision on my next purchase. Will be getting the exact same one tomorrow. I'm still on the fence for optics.

[@nhwnhw02]

Love a S20. Only downside is reloading the magazines takes a moment. Cartridges have to be slipped in from the front, where the shoulder of the cartridge already there is in the way. Other than that, a great rifle. I have one in .308 Winchester that has the most consistent trigger pull of any rifle I have tested. Using a Wheeler digital trigger gauge, each pull varies only a fraction of an ounce. From the factory it was a 2 pound 5 ounce trigger. Very soft recoil pad. Removed a couple of spacers to get exactly 13.5" length of pull. Very accurate. Using Federal 165 gr Swift Scirocco II ammunition on no wind days sub one inch groups at 200 yards off the bench.

[@waderatcliff-ci6lg]

Awesome rifle! I have the same rifle chambered in 6.5 PRC and it is my favorite rifle in my safe-and I have many rifles. The first time I went out and shot, after I got the gun on paper at 100 yards I shot a 3/4” group at 300 yards with factory Hornady Precision Hunter loads in 143gr ELD-X. I am shooting 5/8” groups at 100 yards with my reloads using 143gr ELD-X bullets. I love this rifle!

[@jerryhudnall1844]

that rifle has the sako aluminum bedding nice nice rifle, I use to shoot a 7mm Rem. mag in Rem. 700 BDL it shot really well, I liked smaller grain bullets as did the rifle, 139 grain was my favorite and rifles, group were averaged dependable a 3/4 probably would not win any shooting match but one shot kills on deer coyotes and elk, If I remember right when 7mm's were first built they used 139 grains to prove them out, so might work out for you. being a European rifle they probably got rifling for heavier bullets. knowing twist will help you on grain weight.

I am glad you did this video. Anyone else experience what I have in my rifle? Please read on. I bought the same rifle. I had another Sako in 243 varmint. It was a tack driver. This 7mm mag I have I think is going back to get a different barrel. It shoots okay but it could be better. Right where the fluting starts it feels like when they were fluting it indented the barrel. I can feel it on a patch. I will never get over the thought of missing a big buck or elk if it has that imperfection in the barrel. I figure if I am paying 1700 bucks for a rifle it better have a good barrel. I scoped mine with a Burris 5x25 Signature. I like it.
