Unfortunately the vids don‘t work. At least not on my iPad.

No stutzen!

It certainly looks a promising rifle and some will be happier than others with the following compromise on certain models:


The Hunter action sticks with grooves but hopefully not tapered:

What I can see no .223!

Cheers

 

[freid]

No .223, nor 6.5x55, nor .270, nor .30-06

 

[Acm]

No .223, nor 6.5x55, nor .270, nor .30-06

Not yet, I’m sure they will be added. The literature confirms 5 action sizes, they would not be making an extra short unless they plan to chamber .223 & .222 nor would they make a medium action unless they are to chamber 6.5x55 & .270

I see they have ditched the tapered dovetail for a picatinny type and what looks like a straight dovetail type which is a good thing.
Interested now to see if they have improved the recoil lug and bedding area which was another weak point on the 85

The “copper” “creedmoor” effect?

Yeah they probably start with what they think will be the most popular cartridges and gradually add the others

Looks like the Tikka T3, S20 and 85 had a threesome

Looks like they have been listening to sd popular census of opinion. I have said for years about all rifle manufacturers should have a universal scope attachment system and the nearest thing to this has been the picatinny rail. Everything looks good but I couldn't see details of magazine

From the pictures above it looks like a typical sako steel magazine.

They look like nice rifles.

It's good that the 243 gets an 8" twist barrel , but unfortunately the 22-250 still gets the 14" twist.

Yes, I fancy the quest ultra in 7mm prc. Cant find how to get to the cal, spec etc listing

Not sure they're offering that? Quest seems to be available in 6.5 PRC or longer 7mm Magnums

28 Nosler is popular?

28 Nosler is popular?

The UK is a tiny and frankly insignificant market compared to Europe and the US.

Thanks, i will wait to see if 7mm prc is going to be added

Still screwed it up, same design as the S20.

Market wants a the option of a full length rail with varying inclines (0 or 20 MOA usually), not the bodge job they are offering.

Only a very small minority of the target market for this rifle are long-range shooters.
I say they have done it right with the S90.
