Just thought that I would let you folks out there know about my Sako 75 heavy s/s barrel problems...
Brand new out of the box I could not get it to shoot well... I tried every make of ammo going in 243 an it would not play ball. Eventually, I tried leaving the barrel dirty and not cleaning it between 20 round batches... and the accuracy started getting better... after 50 round the groups were getting down to 1" at 100 yds.
To cut a long story short... I contacted teh shop where I bought it and as if by magic, with 24hrs, Sako have had it returned to be tested for a new barrel...
Has anyone else had similar problems with nnew rifles in the past?
