The NEW Sako S20

[@nhwnhw02]

Just a FYI. As someone who has dropped the occasional irreplaceable part of a valuable instrument. I once lost for a few days a titanium screw for a rare Emerson knife. A shop vacuum cleaner with a piece of panty hose stretched across the hose opening can be used for non-magnetic items. Sweep slowly and check often for what gets picked up and held to the panty hose section.

[@UnitedStatesOfGuns]

That's fantastic! Thank you

[@ernestshipman411]

I was a Sako Beretta Trident Dealer for 17 years. SOLID rifles, never had one in my hands that didn't shoot like a house a fire. Hunted @ the world with them too - VERY well made dependable rifles. Anxious to ad one of these to my collection! I VERY much enjoy your videos, no macho/bravado chest thumping, just solid reviews from someone who is passionate @ quality sporting arms and is knowledgeable w/o being biased as well. Thank you for your vids.

Those are great scopes. The one you have was originally intended for field target air rifle competitions. The large wheel will have yardage marks so that the shooter can know the precise range when the target comes into focus. This allows for precise holdover with the air rifles. I have a similar scope I use on my 22-250. Great review and Merry Christmas to you!

[@slickdazzler7330]

A very well thought out rifle, even if they didn't use wood anywhere on it. Sako has always had a good reputation for quality.

[@regsparkes6507]

I've been looking at the S20 in 6.5 Creedmoor, haven't made any decision to buy one just yet, but I did buy, just recently, a Sako Finnfire II in .22 LR and I was amazed, literally, at the accuracy I got. I can easily believe what you are showing here about this S20 and when the time comes to buy again, you can be sure this one will be front and center. I would like to wish you and the team there at USOG, the Merriest of Christmases this year and all the best wishes and good health for 2021.

[@stevenlewis6781]

Sako Rifles set the standard for all other rifles. My dad and I have had Sako rifles since the early 60's. Many brands have gotten better over the years, but Sako's were in a completely different league for decades and

[@CoolStuff5309]

Another super-enjoyable and informative video! It's interesting that the S20 is, at its core, a Sako 85. I suspect that the aluminum bedding block plays a big role in maximizing its accuracy. One of our local dealers appears to be getting to the end of their S20 inventory (three years after your video), so the next "latest and greatest" offering from Sako may be waiting in the wings. I've been lamenting selling my last TRG-S (M995) in .270 WIn. - an extraordinarily accurate hunting rifle - and I hope that the S20 (likely in 6.5 CM) will fill its shoes. Keep up the fabulous work!

As I understand the big selling point for the new S20 was the modularity. When it came out there were two options: Hunter ( what you have) and Precision. And the idea is that like the Hunter version you have there is always the buttstock and the forend and you can mix them up and in the future there would be maybe more options to choose from. Personally I am waiting to buy my first rifle (have the permit there on the table, only what I want is out of stock atm :( so have to wait) and watching your videos I have decided to buy a wood stock iron sighted hunting rifle at some point in my life because who does not like the classics ;) Greetings from Finland and have a happy 2021!

Is it me or does the S20 barreled action look exactly like a Tikka T3x? I ask because I would love to get an S20, especially if I could pop it into an aftermarket stock like the MDT HNT26 down the road. If you could give me some feedback on this it would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!!

[@douglasthompson2740]

It would be nice for us tradionalists if they would use those same techniques with a wood stock. A classic wood stock stiffened by the backbone and bedded to perfection. That combined with their workmanship and action sounds like a natural winner. Ahhh---then if it could be done in stainless...... I do admire the one wrench torx used on all necessary fasteners. A great feature out in a remote hunting camp as well as a choice that doesn't always slip and trash the screw heads! Thanks for another very interesting video.

[@UnitedStatesOfGuns]

Thanks Douglas - good points and torx is great so long as one has one...and the right one 😂

I think Sako wanted to go even further than Roessler and others in modularity. Only one flaw: other than bolt 85. Almost perfect! Thanks for the review and Merry Christmas.

[@swkohnle08]

Well Mike, this is an Interesting design of this Sako rifle. I can appreciate the engineering and machining that goes into these modern rifles. And the Fins make some fantastic guns. But I still struggle to warm up to these modern examples with modern materials. To me, I just prefer rifles made of steel and wood. I suppose I’m being somewhat hypocritical considering that I carry a Glock 19 everyday for personal defense. There was a KZbin video that was at least five or more years old that showed a brief tour of the Sako plant by a British outdoors channel. I can’t recall the name of the channel. The people they spoke with at the plant during the tour had a strong commitment to quality manufacturing and design. You might still find this video if you search for it. Anyway, Sako seems to make some amazing firearms and thank you for sharing this video.

However unlikely, one advantage that a polymer mag might have over steel (in addition to weight savings) is if it ever took a hard hit like being dropped from an elevated position. If cracked it may still function whereas if steel is dented it may not function.

[@richarddixon7276]

A nice early Christmas present to Your viewers education/entertainment , Thank You ! . A very nice rifle , beautifully built and like almost anything made in Finland made with Function being the primary objective and an equal amount of care devoted to its appearance and ascetics . Function over Form , so whilst I love to see a really nice piece of well grained walnut oiled to a lovely matt shine and shaped with curves and contours to make a super model jealous , I can appreciate the fact that Modern polymers are a much more functional proposition for a tool that might have to contend with the hard knocks from a stint in the wilderness in many varied and possibly extreme conditions .

This is what the sako A7 should have been. The A7 is good, but it looked way to similar to the tikka t3x. So the tikka sales crushed it. It has aluminium reinforced stock, 3 locking lug bolt, and a good adjustable trigger. But it just looks to much like the tikka t3x. The S20 does not it has that specific look, and comes in two different stock versions taget and hunting. Thank you for a excellent video Merry Christmas

'Fire between pulses..' Yep, that is JUST what Biathlon shooters do, they release at the 'turn-around' in the heartbeat. After skiing one's butt off, the pulse is a LOT more active than a guy at the range ;-) That looks like a very nice piece! Really clean design, and that stiffness that you note is undoubtedly from very fine tolerances in manufacturing. Is it available in .270 Win? BTW, did you mention the 'street price' ;-) 'Street price' ... that ain't no street gun!! Have a nice Christmas, keep safe, keep those around you safe, and look forward to an improving 2021!

Hello Mister @USOG, I wish you a happy new year 2021 and I hope you had a great Christmas with best regards from the home of your ancestors, Germany. I don't want to offend you and I apologize in advance - however, the fact is that I do care about you. I see that your hands are trembling a lot every now and then. These can of course be harmless circulatory problems or nervousness, but it can also be a sign that something worse is looming, such as Parkinson's. I ask you to let yourself be examined thoroughly, because we want you to be with us for a long time and see your great videos for another 50 years (minimum). :)

[@UnitedStatesOfGuns]

Thank you Andreas : ) I hope you had a nice Christmas and thank you so much for your concern. I made a couple of videos and talk about the shaking and tremor. I went through many tests and the early indications were Parkinson's - which is what it is - and then subsequent testing revealed essential tremor. I have had the tremor all my life and it comes and goes - and doesn't seem to be based on what I am doing or conditions in the environment. I have no problem shooting - which is nice. I received various prescriptions over the years and maybe they were sometimes good. Some of them made me sleepy or impaired my thinking - so I stopped taking them. Anyway - I keep going and hopefully can last a few more years or longer. I truly appreciate your concern. I wish you the very best of health and happiness - and everything. God Bless.

I was digging around on guntraderUK the other night and while seeing some of the prices that these absolutely gorgeous rifles were going for, my jaw dropped. They were very, very reasonable in price. You could even say cheap. I love classic firearms and my biggest passion is Handloading for them. If I could find good work in Canada I’d move in a heartbeat. I’m not sure if I’m smart, lucky, unlucky or just stubborn but I’m not married and don’t have kids so there isnt much keeping me in Pa besides great friends and family.

Since the end of World War II, old government came from mainland China, settled very strict martial laws, guns laws & other laws to control people; slaughtered people. Now through election, they got new government, but still using old laws, absolutely no individual is allowed to buy any kinds of real guns, also there’s no legal real guns can be bought; even some kind of toy guns are prohibited, hunting is prohibited. The government always used reasons to deny, such as toppling government, sniping officials, society security and animals protection. Also there are many anti-guns people, animals protection groups, Buddhist, they spoke loudly, they are more powerful. Now many people are eager to buy guns and hunting, but absolutely no way; so except working, many people attend to do eating, drinking, playing videos games, having drugs or something sexual or nonsense or illegal; many people are getting fatter, weaker, degenerated.

You could ride your gun like a unicycle with a scope like that.

The reasons why so many European rifle manufacturers use standard length actions for shorter intermediate cartridges may be sound...such as rebarreling to longer cartridge as an additional option. Nevertheless, I believe short action rifles should be made to accommodate 308 and 300 Savage based cartridges. Merry Christmas and many blessings!

It looks to me like they are trying to pull off a hybrid of a hunting and a precision rifle. All I can say is that in my experience a thing that is a jack of all trades is usually a master of none. Whether this rifle is able to bridge both worlds successfully only time will tell. Anyways, to both yourself and to those behind the scenes Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I am sure that it is a fine rifle and is very accurate but I would not buy one for myself. I am old fashioned but if you make a video about it I will watch because your videos are always so interesting . That scope is something else also I have a rifle I would like to try something like that on . Have a very merry Christmas and thank you for all the great videos you have made a terrible year better.
