maximus otter Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 My new Sako 75 Varmint in .223 Remington: The mod is a Wildcat Evo 8: The 'scope is a Schmidt & Bender 4-16 x 50mm PMII attached with 34mm Optilocks: The Sako factory specs insist that it's a 1:8 twist barrel, but I've pushed a rod through it which suggests about a 1:14 twist. Off to the range soon with a grab bag of mixed factory ammo. maximus otter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliott Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 Very nice. 1/14 twist would be a bit odd. Let us know how you get on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reloader54 Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 .223 you say,, an old keeper friend had one of these with a 14 twist,, it was .222 . of course it could simply be re barrelled. nice looking rifle, his was extremely accurate.

Toby Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 Nice rifle. Most probably a 1-12" if it isn't a 1-8". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was established in op to be slower however factory says 1.8 with no other option.?? http://www.sako.fi/rifles/old-models/75-varmint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stovies Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 Depends how old it is, they came with 1:12 twist barrels with an option for 1:8 originally according to my old catalogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy RV Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Looks great, I've just ordered a 5-25x56 PMII for my .223 Sako 85 laminate varmint. Am I correct in thinking that Sako only offer the 34mm rings in low height? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sako’s site suggests that they come in low and medium. maximus otter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
