sako 22 finfire ,will take some beating .
You CUT the barrel - you defiled it!Sako finnfire for me too. My one is cut down to 14 inch I think, with a mod on it's very sweet to shoot.
What faults?I use a sako quad heavy barrel bought new and has been back to sako/gmk 4 times now for faults.
when its working a fantastic bit of kit ultra accurate and nice to use but if I was to get another 22 it would be an anschutz .
1417 annie 22, 452cz 17hmrAnschutz 1417 super accurate rifle would take a lot of betting .
why? if its trigger creep adjust or change for rimfire majic or other ,its only a tube and spring kit,instructions all over utube,Have a 452 at the min but i dont get on with it
ammo getting caught on the breach and taking the leading edge of the bullet off and this was on all the ammo I used.
not ejecting fired cases.
trigger locking solid just like the safety was on no amount of pressure could get the trigger to pull but the bolt would cycle so the safety was not on.
and the last was because gmk decided to dremmel a leading edge on the breach to guide the bullet in and I was not happy about that im sure it was designed that the bullet would guide in without having to attack a brand new gun with a dremmel.
and after a few strong words they fitted a new barrel and no problems since so that proved my point.
the trigger locking gmk said it was because the trigger spring had been wound down to much so after they reset it it happened on the second magazine I shot through it so it quite obviously wasn't the trigger weight.
after a lot of head scratching I soaked the bolt in penetrating fluid and lots of black gunk came out and its worked perfect since.
BRNO #2
I'm sure there's one for sale in the classifieds at the mo.
Wouldn't change mine for anything.
Had mine since '82, fired thousands of rounds through it. Can't fault it or imagine using any other .22
A Cooper but only if they get of their ar$e and sort out the in-the-field bolt lift problem they've known about for at least 10 years.
Basically the action and bolt require a modification along the lines of Brno's use of a ball bearing in the bolt handle that engages with a recess in the action when lowered.
Anything that keeps the damn thing closed and that is a step up from an elastic band and shoe tack driven into the stock!

i was quite annoyed and the gun shop bent over backwards to help it was that the rifle just hadn't been checked before leaving the factory.
in the motor trade we just call it a Friday afternoon gun thrown together before home time
