    Need .308 recommendations!

    Re: Need .308 recommendations! Sako has a nicer action (control feed mechanism, so it should not jam), very good safety system (bolt release button allows you to remove a cartridge from the chamber with the safety engaged) no to mention the most accurate barrel for a series rifle on the...

    Pete Lincoln - Roedale Precision PLEASE READ

    Re: Pete Roedale - Roedale Precision PLEASE READ I have also the impression he started to believe to be the only guy in universe doing rifle tuning. I think I sent him like 4 enquiries about different stuff and so far no answer. He might be a fine gunsmith but has no clue about customer service.

    Howa 1500, or Rem 700 SPS?

    Re: Howa 1500, or Rem 700 SPS? I would go with Tikka or Howa (which in fact is Wheatherby Vanguard).

    Tikka T3 Sporter

    Dear Colleagues, as you may have noticed Tikka has released the new version of its sporter. The first question which arises with reference to this model is the following one: apart from new stock what can we say about the barrel? Is this a match-grade barrel, is this a barrel taken from the...

    Sako 85 varmint- good choice?

    Re: Sako 85 varmint- good choice? I assume 223 may be a little bit more pleasant in daily use, since shootin ca. 100 rounds per training session with 308 could be a little bit annoying due to recoil.

    Sako 85 varmint- good choice?

    Re: Sako 85 varmint- good choice? Thanks. I was leaning towards Sako 85 varmint because (a) it's cheaper than the ssg, (b) nice wooden stock, (c) no plastic mag, (c) interesting safety mechanism.

    Sako 85 varmint- good choice?

    Re: Sako 85 varmint- good choice? Thanks. The thing is that I don't like wobbeling savage action and its 70cm long barrels. You have an impression as if you were holding a spear. it's cheap though. SSG 69 and sako 85 varmint are available in my neighbourhood for approx. 1700 EUR (Sako) and...

    Dear All, I intend to purchase a Sako 85 Varmint in 308 win as a primary rifle for 500 yds F-Class competition. Therefore, I would very much appreciate your opinion on this choice, especially of those guys shooting 85 varmint on a regular basis. Best, AM

    Controversies around Remington

    As many colleagues praise Remington for being the best purchase in terms of value/money ratio, here is what I have recently read in the German edition of Financial Times: <span style="font-style: italic">Cerberus hatte Remington 2007 gekauft und baut rund um das Traditionsunternehmen den neuen...

    Sako Varmint barrel

    Hello, I was wondering if you could share your view on the following issue. It is being said that Tikka T3 Tactical's barrel is of pretty much the same quality as the Sako barrel. Moreover, I recently heard from my local Beretta dealer that T3 Tactical's barrel is supposed to be superior to...
