Sako 90 Peak .223 - " Sako Select Program "

[Stinky Coyote]

Good news hearing xs action in 90. Pretty sure same magazine as 75/85’s so prolly not make .223 guys happy but I’m factory ammo guy so not fluent on it. If saami oal would seem to make sense to go Grendel or Arc to get the higher bc stuff to fit in their wonderful mags but pipe dreams with Sako speed to market. Can’t big game hunt .223 in my market so another dgaf for me.

Wheels turn on potential to convert to x39 case though. Could machinest/smith open bolt face? Would mag work with just a custom follower made up? Then a barrel and be purdy expensive jewel. Still dreaming.

Can you spur (aggressively) the Sako peeps for Grendel/Arc’s in future peaks???

 

[EuroOptic]

Do they still make the black Bear??? How about the Kodiak???

Not yet, But they seem to be bringing new 90 models out every year or so now

I always wanted a black bear in 308. Let us know as new stuff comes out if you have time.

 

[Brontosaurus]

I knew this question would come.. lol
Were trying to get bare actions for you guys, In the meantime the cheapest XS rifles are gonna be the Varmints in 223 & 222

Don't tease us like this...

Lol, They are well aware of my desire for a 6 ARC 90 peak...

 

[Stinky Coyote]

If had to guess the .223 crowd here would faint if they had 90 peaks with twist, mag length, and 10 & 20 round mags. Corner the .223 market everywhere lol. But have to remember it’s slow as molasses Sako. Anything I’ve missed for the .223 guys?

Q, LLC. mini Fix 5.56 x 45mm NATO 12"

Whats the general opinion on the mini fix from you guys? I have a 12" 8.6 that I love, Probably gonna grab a 12" 5.56 too.. Seems like a great option for most of you, aside from the cost..

I’d get you a spare barrel as I’d retube mine to 6.5 Arc lol

You run a great shop. My new binos came in last week and I am very happy with the purchase. Every purchase I made from your company has gone very well.

I just wish you had not sold me a .223 T3x Stainless 3 months before Tikka announced all 2025 rifles would have threaded barrels.

Now, I am waiting for take off threaded 223 barrels to show up for sale.

Why not just get the current barrel threaded?

The obsession with tikka and sako are because of these reasons.

And chassis are kinda 50/50 for sliders.

Thread 'Stock vs Chassis for Field Shooting'

Jul 18, 2023

This definitely isn't a new topic. There have been several threads vaguely covering preferences for hunting in different types of rifles, plus countless more on other forums. Most of those threads cover preferences, but I think there's more to the debate than mere opinion. My hope for this thread is for it to be completely objective. Not a matter of feel or preference, but function alone specifically focused on hunting centric use in field conditions.
To help guide the thread, this post will have a list of functional characteristics to compare stocks vs chassis. If you have more to...

If you get the chance can you shove some 6arc or 22arc rounds into the. 223 mag and see if that has the potential to function.

I'm really intrigued with the idea of having a bolt face opened up and rebarreled for .22 ARC.

I can do that - Might have to remind me when a XS rifle comes in.. I'll probably forget by then lol

I don't want to cut the barrel back and lose velocity. So far, I use it exclusively for affordable practice and want to have as much reach as a 223 allows.

I figure there will be take off threaded barrels available at decent prices within 12 months.

I could be wrong.

The new threaded barrels are 20” instead of 22”. So, waiting for a takeoff barrel won’t save you velocity. You should only lose 50-100 FPS at most from a 2” chop. And you gain the advantage of suppression. My 16” AR is sending AAC 77-grain OTMs at 2692 FPS. I expect to get about the same performance out of a bolt gun.

What can/are you getting in that would be carbon/composite stock, stainless/cerakoted, and a 9.3x62?

 

[nm.otter]

Any idea what the relative weights are for XS, M, and L actions?

Also curious about max COAL on the XS and whether it could potentially be fitted for a 12mm bolt face.

thank you~

Good idea. From recollection on AR mags the only difference from .223 to the x39 case rounds is the follower. Anyone knows different pipe up. My Grendel Cz 527 and Rar AR mags both say 7.62x39 and or 7.62x39/6.5 Grendel, so Arc’s should feed no different than those two. The Sako and AR being double stack, the cz 527 single stack not sure what’s different between it and .223 variant?

 

[Stinky Coyote]

And ask those fudd euro geniuses at Sako if they’ve heard about the internet?

Meant as both compliment and an insult lol. Be faster Sako, pay attention!

They are so insanely expensive that I wouldn't even consider one.
