I'll be, The "Sako 500 J" arrived!

Attachments

I have one I got from Backyardsniper. He had it sorted with new front sight and recoil pad, then had some action work done. It runs like a sewing machine and is very accurate. I don’t think the recoil is bad at all. 9.5 pounds, love mine.
 
I checked my ejector, all I had was a loaded round, it is not a snug fit. If you put slight pressure on the tip it is easy to move around.
 
Once again congrats! My CZ 550 which required some work to make it function perfectly is as solid as a bank vault. It only holds 3 down, but if I can't kill it with 3 570g TSX's at 2300 fps I deserve to be chomped on.

It sound like he did really nice work to it, .. just in his general posts, respectively.
 
If you want to upgrade. No pics though.

I wonder if they would fit on the Brown Bear? .. opposed to Sako's 85 XL premium, 24".
interesting, just a thought though?

Many thanks.
 
Nice. I missed it was another Sako. Sold mine a month or so ago and now have a miffed buddy wanting one, but not a Sako.
would take 3500$ or possible trade and cash. Lookin for possibly kimber pistol or maybe a nice 40 cal glock.
 
Not every day or year or decade someone is going to try to take an elephant. Its more a collectors item I guess. 540 grain at 15$ per round is just WOW...
 
What is "PY37482"? if anyone knows .. Many Thanks.

To everyone's pov. A good build makes a distinguishable difference in any caliber. The Sako was the only production, semi affordable 500 Jeffery. Both 14" LOP.

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!
