I work in the bush and wanted a short/light/robust rifle to carry around to shoot anything that pops up. Found an old Sako A1 .222 action in pretty rough shape, had it tidied up and cerakoted, and an 18" Criterion stainless 1:8 twist barrel screwed on, chambered in .223. Found a factory stock and installed a Sako factory peep sight and a front sight. Am changing the front sight bead for a square topped blade for a better sight picture. Here's a short film overview of the rifle and some wallaby hunting with it, enjoy
