The same rifle that shootgun is referring to was with me in france a couple of weeks ago, using the 130 gn homeloads that i use for my .270 we had it grouping just under two inches at 226 yards and with a different scope we probably could have done better, i was really impressed with the rifle and would definately recommend it, cheers Geoff
so my advice would be to steer clear of Sako!
This is a £1,000 pound rifle built as an economy Sako 85 and nothing wrong with that or owning one. If you have to chuck the free issue cheap mounts away, big deal, you get some decent ones and it shoots straight! Of course if you want high quality you have to pay for it and push your hands deeper in your pocket and still have to buy decent mounts.
Personally I'd be happy to pay £60 for new mounts rather than £600 for a higher end rifle - that'll probably shoot no better?
If you were to buy a brand new mid range car and the fitted brake pads(Cheap) became u/s after a few applications, would you be happy to pay for new pads. Especially when the dealer say that you should have bought a more expensive model and you would not have the problem. (Big Deal).
The rifle which includes the mounts should live up to the sale pitch. This is not just a customer service issue which in its self is unacceptable, but a safety issue just as in dodgy brake pads.

There's a big difference between a £15,000 motor car with bad brakes and a good but budget end rifle of a £1,000 with mounts which will do although not the best!
Unfortunately they won't do. At all. That's the issue.
