Sako 90 adventure

[Castmaster]

The Sako 90 adventure has really caught my eye and looks like it has a ton of great features. Does anyone own one or have any experience with one? In the 2500ish price range it looks like an awesome option.

They reused the stock from the 85 Finnlight II. Assuming it’s the same barrel with just the action replaced, you’re looking at a fantastic rifle.

My best friend has a Finnlight II in 308 and it’s one of the most accurate rifles I’ve ever shot. I wouldn’t shy away from the 90.

The 90 looks really nice. They are very new, so good luck talking to someone with much experience. Sako makes very nice rifles. The integrated pic rail and the double plunger ejectors fix my two complaints with my Sako 85. I don't need one, and will not be buying one, but I want one.

Agree on all points. I love my Sako’s, but scope mounting options suck! Near rail is the best for the 85’s, but the 90’s fix this altogether.

Saving my pennies to buy a 90. Looking forward to any reviews that pop up til then.

And it is only a matter of time before I capitulate and buy one. I will report back to the group with my experience.

FIFY

It is your job to check in periodically and make sure I have not bought one in secrete. With the factory twist rates, the 6.5 CM or 243 Win would be my choices. If they make one in 6 CM...

 

[WormSportsman]

That would be a sweet .243!

I wonder what integrated means when it comes to the rail. I could have swore another one of their rifle models was phrased that way but in reality it's just epoxied on as opposed to being actually integral to the receiver.

I like that it's 3 slots per side so even though it doesn't have quite the adjustment of a one-piece rail there's still more than most people would need.

 

[Castmaster]

You guys are really tempting to buy one now lol… since it comes threaded I wonder if they have a muzzle brake to match the barrel profile.

Some models also have a parallel 17mm rail same as a tikka. Sportsmatch or UM tikka rings would work.

too bad i'm not going to SHOT this year. the tikka/sako booth is always my favorite.

Looks like they just introduced the Sako 90 finnlight. Except for sling swivels and different stock texture, I don't see much else different from the adventure.

Quest in .243 looks interesting…1:8, 20” threaded.

That’s the one to buy.

They are all over 7# even with 20” barrels. That ain’t light. This movement towards adjustable cheek pieces on lightweight sporter rifles can piss off along with the carbon barrel or fluting everything far as I’m concerned.

Yeah I agree, and the 'Adventure' is lighter, so I don't quite understand this one. I like the idea of the 'peak' as a mountain rifle, but $3.5-$4K is a bit rich for me.
