SAKO S20???

[finnbear270]

I believe that the idea behind the s20 is a mix and match format.
So you could have a fast handling thumbhole for say driven boar, or woodland stalking, then change to the other stock if you are going gong bashing or doing more long range work.

Anyone seen a sporter stock for these?

Helped a mate zero his S20 thumb hole in 243 with fluted barrel. By the end of the session It shot a 1 inch group at 200 yards using a shooting frame, I am a Sauer boy but I was impressed with it

S20 Review have a look here, scroll down and it has a photo of the two set ups

although are heavy for what they are and the barrel is quite long in standard trim…

The rattley mag is a pain but a small piece of sticky felt fixed that.

Agree completely on the weight - love the rifle but wish it was much lighter. I have the rattle mag issue too but some velcro loop quickly and reliably solved that. Mine’s the 20” barrel and I find it very pointabl.

Thanks for the linky, Might be a contender in .300 WinMag for that once in a lifetime trip to Africa.

Wonder what a PH would say about the S20...

I’ve got two.. a .243 and 6.5 CM. Both excellent in all respects.

A few reviews have advised that mag feed may be inconsistent Steve - I’d be cautious if you are looking at DG - not so on a management hunt

No feed issues on mine but I did see the 308 reviewed in a video once had that - I wonder if it was the mag fit.

Mine is the 24” and I have considered getting it chopped down…not sure how short I could go without effecting accuracy. I guess Sako made it 24” for a reason!

I've a 6.5CM, 24inch fluted barrel with the hunter stock. Sightron Stac on top. Shots 3 round groups like this at 200m. 143gr ELD-X over 42.2gr of Superformance for Vermin & almost identical with 123gr Barnes LRX. It's now made my .223/Pulsar combo redundant. Use it for pretty much everything. Dropped a 270m doe on the spot with it on Saturday with a Barnes. When I'm on the September to November contract it's absolutely devastating. Put over 1k rounds through it since it was new in April & it's definitely my favourite bit of kit in my cabinet now
