Podcast With Beretta on Tikka/Sako

[Cliff Gray]

Jared is a great guy and he gave me some clear answers to my “why” questions. If I was being honest, the right side of my brain was looking for specific, “it works better because we do X and Y differently than everyone else” but I think his answers gave me a better macro view of why Tikkas are so popular and effective for backcountry hunters.

He also gives a few hints on things that might be in the pipeline down the road.

Great content!

Thanks, Cliff.

Some good info there -- though Jared forgot to mention the easily adjustable trigger reach (LOP) on the Sako 90.

Also worth noting that the S20 trigger (which will work on a T3x) has a bolt override that works the same way.

Are S20 triggers available anywhere to buy? If they work on T3x’s I would like to try one.

I believe they were getting them from Midwest gun works, sounds like they are hard to come by. Bix n Andy makes one as well.

 

[JDMBEND]

Looks that way, especially left handed.

Occasionally.
Still hoping that @Procision Arms and/or @Unknown Munitions can figure out how to import them in bulk from Sako.

I’ll have to listen next week thank you for getting them on

 

[UnckleBob]

The Tikka rep admitting that cartridges like the 6.5PRC could have feeding issues surprised me.

 

[MuleyFever]

I try not to listen to influencers but it would be interesting to hear why they over chamber leading to slow speeds?

more forgiving?

What do you mean over chamber?

 

[MuleyFever]

What do you mean over chamber?

Everyone says they have larger chambers. You hear about it a lot in relation to slower speeds.

@MuleyFever they don't, I was talking with a representative from tikka with Jake from unknown at the salt lake show. He was telling me they use close to minimum spec reamers. If that was the reason you could neck size only and get more speed. Velocity usually has more correlation to bore diameter from what I understand.

Good to know.
