It has an aluminium base to the butt pad, which fits inside the stock and is secured there by the rear sling swivel at the bottom.at the top by a "lip". 243 Win M600, 21" Schneider medium heavy barrel built especially for "anteloping" ("desert goat numbers maintenance" to my vegetarian friends). Do wish I had trashed the double set triggers when building it though. Not only is this stock a very nice piece of work, the rifle easily shoots 180 gr. (.30 Belted Newton it is called by some). One is an original Newton, rebarreled by my close friend, the late Paul Marquart, to. I do have a pair of very nice rifles stocked by MPI. Think about it.Ģ9 April 2003, 18:20 Alberta CanuckI, of course, cannot speak one way or the other about Johan's experience with MPI. When you unload you have a better chance of losing ammo when you open the floorplate than just taking a magazine out. The old argument about being able to lose a magazine doesn't hold water either, especially when most guys carry ammo loose in their pockets to top up. I would rather have a blind magazine if I couldn't have a detachable one. I'll probably get flak for this statement but as far as I personally am concerned, the floorplate is about the most useless thing on a rifle there is. I would also agree with Orion where detachable magazines are concerned. I haven't spent any time with the Sako 75 but I have with the TRG-S and if the 75 is anything like it, you won't be disappointed.

For smoothness of action, fit and finish, reliability you would have to spend SEVERAL dollars more to get an equivalent rifle, and I'll say up front that I personally favor the Steyr Pro Hunter and Savage where bolt actions are concerned. In a production bolt action rifle you simply can't do any better. My Sako 75 (300 Win Mag) has a four round double column detachable magazine and I actually prefer it to a floorplate (which my other BG rifle has) or a blind magazine.Ģ8 April 2003, 09:49 savage49494Mark, I would have to agree with Lawcop. They seem to work just fine in milions of military and military style rifles around the world, not to mention every single semi-auto handgun out there. Both models are equipped with a detachable staggered magazine.īTW, I don't understand this aversion to detachable magazines in hunting rifles. New for 2003 is the Sako 75 Hunter Left-hand, a mirror image of our popular 75 Hunter and is available in a selection of America�s favorite calibers. Designed by master Finnish gun makers, the Sako 75 Hunter features a high-grade walnut stock and a deep metal blue finish. Attractive gloss polish finish on both wood and metal componentsĬombining attractive appearance with superior accuracy, reliability and performance, the durable Sako 75 Hunter is renowned as a rifle that gets the job done, time and time again. The stock is beautifully grained select-grade walnut with handcrafted skip-line checkering. All previous models have two lugs (90 deg lift).Ī triumph of craftsmanship and classic design, the Sako 75 Deluxe has a stainless steel stagger magazine with hinged floorplate for faultless operation. The Sako 75 is, IIRC, the only Sako with three bolt lugs (hence the 64 deg. All other Sako 75s are only available with a detachable magazine. The Deluxe (shinier bluing and shiny stock with ebony tip) in all calibers, and the regular 75 in the Ultra Magnum calibers are the only ones available with a floorplate. The only model that fit your definition is the Sako 75 Deluxe. What model would that be? Also the finnbear seems to be the cheaper model. What I've got in mind is a 7mm 24" barrel with no sights, a floor plate model no box magazine, with the 64deg bolt.
