My Sako .270 is one rifle I would never part with.
I purchased this rifle in 1983 my first year of working after I had finished high school.
When I was in high school my best friend and I would catch the bus after school into town and look at the Sako's on display in the window of the local gun shop. We vowed to each other that we would buy a Sako when we had the money. That's exactly what we did in our first year of work. My friend purchased a Sako in .243 and I grabbed the .270. We both still have them today 37 years later.
My Sako .270 has had just over 3000 rounds through the barrel in anger at game and still manages to shoot 3/4" groups with 130gr Woodleigh's.
It has had three scopes in its life so far and I had the metalwork re-finished a few years ago. The stock is plain but this gun has performed flawlessly over the years.
