Sako to Develop New Family of Semi-Automatic Sniper Rifles -

The Finnish Defence Forces Logistics Command has signed a letter of intent with Sako Ltd. to develop a new family of Semi-Automatic Sniper Rifles / DMRs. It will be very interesting to follow what the Sako semi-auto will look like, and if they will use Benelli's ARGO system, make a clone or...

I'm curious to see what they come up with from their perspective. One could argue that there are some decent systems already...but then again, anybody waiting for a duty-grade semi auto sniper that isn't 308 or 223 is left holding their dicks at the moment...

Hmmm

Sako screams take my money.

A rifle derivative of the the M1/2/3/4 lineup makes me want to barf.
 
They probably want domestic production of their defense weapons... Commendable!!

I belive most of their defense tactics are based on fighting in woods with no very long range shots needed.. + it needs to be ultra reliable in cold weather.

Just to be novel...something chambered in .260Rem/6.5 Creedmore.

It would feed from 7.62x51 mag, plenty of choice in projectiles, proven ballistics, mild recoil, very accurate....stranger things have happened.

PGW Direwolf - new game changer rifle?

If you're starting with a clean slate, at least consider the .338 RUM, 300 PRC and 6.5 PRC.

PGWDTI claims good accuracy and results with the rifle. They are in the process to obtain ATF approval, to export the Direwolf to the USA.
 
We will see i havent seen many 300 win mag autos that funtion flawlessly and have great accuracy. But 338 would be huge like literally hahaha . i just want a decent price semi autop 300 win that is POF accurate.

Do you mean Tika?
 
Dude, you're out of your league. Beretta has owned Burris since 2002. Do a search on Beretta Holding Group. They also own Franchi, A. Uberti, and a few others.
