Sako 75 or A1 to 17 Hornet?
MacPherson replied to MacPherson's topic in Varmint Rifles & Heavy Plinkers
If anybody is very friendly with Baldie, dasherman or other rifle smith could they please ask them if it is possible to convert a .223 sized bolt face to shoot .17 hornet? I am keen to get this calibre but want a rifle I actually like and will enjoy shooting. Thanks for everybody that has replied so far but It is this calibre I want. To compare 17 rem to 17 hornet is like comparing apples to oranges, each calibre has its use and effective range, I think 325 yards is beyond what I will use it for or expect out of it. I think the 17 hornet is a 200 yard at most small game cartridge. -

My .222 is a Sako A1 and a fantastic little action, I would love the same but in .17 Hornet, so after seeing that Sako 461 in Australia it means it can be done but I am still hoping for one of the rifle smiths to come on here and say Yes this is possible, what spec do you want and wheres the money? haha -

Morning Guys, Yes the main reason for wanting the .17 Hornet is factory loaded ammo is available, moa accuracy is fine for me. I know some people just love reloading and have this as a hobby but I would rather spend the time shooting. I probably would go for a .17 fireball if factory ammo was available. My .222 is a Sako A1 and is a fantastic little a -

Thanks, I did have a look at the other .17's but thought the .17 hornet suited my needs better, was looking for a crow. magpie, hare and rabbit rifle. I Have tried a .17 HMR and although it was reasonable, I felt the ammo let it done hugely. Has anybody ever heard of these smaller sako's getting adapted to shoot the Hornet? I am looking to commission a build if this is possible. I already have a .222 Sako and a .22 rimfire but just want an in betweenie. -
Good Morning, A question to rifle smiths: Can the Sako 75 1 or Sako A1 be altered to shoot the .17 Hornet, I know the bolt face would be too large but could this be bushed or altered to take the smaller case size? This calibre fits the bill perfectly for what I want but I don't like the rifles that are available for this calibre off the shelf , eg CZ, Savage. I am not concerned abt the rifle being a repeater and would use as a single shot. Many Thanks.
