    Been hunting reloading and collecting rifles 60+ years and after hundreds of rifles I only hunt with Sako rifles because they are the best rifles for the price range they come in😳🙌

    That cheek riser issue is real - and it's not even a figure manufacturers give in the stock measurements like LOP often is. There should really be a measurement standard for comb height, say xx inches above or below the center of the barrel.
    Thanks for the review!

      I agree. We always use the lowest rings possible, and I still have trouble.

    Great review. Very detailed and methodical.
    The weight is perfect for me and the way i hunt out west. I found that i don't shoot really lightweight rifles as well in heavier recoiling cartridges.

      @@ReviewThisThing i understand why you prefer something smaller. It has to fit you. I'm 10" taller and 100lbs bigger than my wife so most of my rifles and shotguns are too big for her. It just gives her an excuse to buy her own.

    You cannot go wrong with this Sako S20 . My 6.5 PRC shoots very good with factory loads and excellent with 140 gr. and 147 gr. reloads . You won’t go wrong with this rifle.
    You CAN get the Sako S20 for 1000 to 1200 now !

    I'm looking at getting one of these for my wife or daughter.
    Probably in 6.5 PRC or 6.5 CM. I see they do offer the hunter fusion in a 20" barrel.
    I'm hearing good things about the Sako 20.
    Might look for 1 for myself in 7mm.

    Wow im super bummed 😢 i was looking at this camo pattern in the 7 mag but just ordered the green roughtech camo in 7 mag and just noticed it does not come with the break. How are they goimg to charge more for the green one and it not come with a break? All magnum versions should automatically come with a break attached. Hey very nice shooter you have btw!

    • @ReviewThisThing

      7mmRM doesn't need a brake, go with a different recoil pad if you are sensitive to recoil.

    One thing which is not tested with finnish guns like all Sakos and old Valmets is ability to handle dirt. Sand,mud and so on. You can throw sand inside and it works. Its one of the their base design features of their guns. Legacy from WWII. Never lets you down. Perfect for real action.

      @Canberrahunters so I haven’t shot any of these in 7RM. I only shot a Browning once years ago and it was too long for me. I also don’t have much experience with Tikka (yet - hint hint). As far as the other two. I really like them both. The Sako may be better for LONG range because it has a longer barrel, BUT I guess it kind of depends on your definition of long range. .
