Sako 90 Hunter 375 H&H

Beauty of a rifle @TOBY458. Love the straight comb on the stock over the hogback.

Nice gun. Did your dealer say when they will be releasing higher end models like the Classic, Deluxe or Bavarian? I did notice the new scope mounting, to me a downgrade to use the Tikka system.

Agreed. Now a base is needed for the QD to latch to instead of the rings dovetailing directly into the receiver.

Congratulations, very nice.

Congratulations, nice. But is 3,6kg a bit light, with scope you are about 4,3kg.

The Bavarian is already out in the USA. I don’t care for the stock on those, so I waited until I found the Hunter version for that reason. Apparently the Hunter models are mostly unavailable in the USA in 375 caliber.

I’m not overly thrilled about the scope mounting choices as of yet. Even though the rifles they’re making with pic rails on top don’t look as good as these rifles, it sure does make it easy to mount a scope with many more options to choose from.

I think Warne makes some vertical split QD rings that will clamp on directly to the rifle. But I’m not a fan of vertical rings.

I like a 375 to end up at around 8.5-9 lbs scopes. So this one should be pretty close to that with a lighter weight scope.

I had Warne vertical rings on my CZ550 and they worked perfectly. Your call.

I like the lighter weight of my SAKO 85L .375H&H (Left Hand) with a Nightforce Scope. I’m not recoil sensitive and shoot it as well as any of my rifles…

Yes, @TOBY458 would you possibly share the US dealer who placed an order on these 375’s?

I know a few of us will get down and beg if need be!

 

[PARA45]

I’m confused…

I thought we only got to see kitchen counter gun porn when there was a price tag affixed?

I'd give it 6 months. He'll kill something with this new rifle, and then on the kitchen counter she will go.

The dealers name is Gary’s Guns.

The majority of the guns that make my counter have never even seen an animal! lol!
