Curious if it's a 6.5 PRC or a 6.5 Creedmoor?

I keep telling guys to buy those, no one ever listens. Sweet rifle, good shooting.

Nice shooting. How much does it weigh with scope and rings?

I'm waiting for the 10 round group....

I have looked at them dozens of times, I just don't know about cutting the fluted barrel down so I can run a suppressor. Anyone have any experience with cutting down a fluted barrel to run a suppressor?

Lots. Zero issues.

So it’s like any other Sako… You take it out of the box. Shoot a bullet that’s towards the “lower grain” side of the chambering, and it stacks them.

I’ve owned 6 Sakos from 300 stupid mag down to .204 Ruger… Each one has done something about like this during 200 yard 6-8 shot sight ins (two magazines)…

They are the same cold hammer forged fluted barrels used on Sako 85s and T3X variants. In my experience, some of the best barrels in the world.

Zero issues with buddies cutting them down and threading.

Stunt shooter.

Imagine if a manufacturer designed and engineered a complete rifle package from action with correct chamber geometry and features to stock with correct inletting, forend, grip and stock to trigger etc.

Simplicity at its finest.

That way hunters could focus on hunting and becoming riflemen.

Just an idea

Do these have the same limitations as long action Tikkas in regards to magazine length and seating heavy bullets further out?

I've been eyeing the hunter version on euro optic for just over a grand. Seems like a steal for that rifle.

No.

Sakos action sizes change depending on the chambering. They also use double stack magazines on the 85 variants that don’t have the limitations of the T3s.

The S20 is like a Tikka, one long action with different bolt stops and magazines. Having said that, the LA mag is 3.6” coal.

Ah good to know. Still need to pick one of these S20s up and tinker with it.

Looks exactly like my first 5 shots after bore sighting (1 shot), and zeroing (1 shot), with my 6.5 PRC and Norma 143gr factory target ammo. The 143 Bondstrike factory ammo shot to the same POI and same accuracy. It's wearing an Arken EP4 6-24x that's been great so far.

Cut down a 24" McWhorter 7mm08 to 18" with no problems. Wish I'd done it sooner......
