Sako Finnfire P94S

[Big Al]

My own original Sako Finnfire P94S .22LR 

Ive owned quite a few of these while looking for the best I could find, this one is that. The bluing is spotless, not even a hint of rust anywhere, the wood had the odd small impression of love here and there but the rifle really is the cleanest Finnfire Ive seen. I didnt think I would ever sell this rifle but I doubt I've fired it in 3yrs so it would be better being with someone who will get the pleasure I got from using it. 

As accurate a .22LR as you will find - £600

I can email more pictures on request alan@alanmaughan.net

I have one of these, target quality acuracy in a hunting guise. Build quality is top notch, I will never part with mine. Nice ones are hard to come by these days. Whoever buys this will not be disappointed.

On still days I've regularly put three shots into 1" at 100yds with this rifle using SK Match ammo.

Another thumbs up for the P94S - I've just won the Kent summer season benchrest comp with my Finnfire.

Dare I ask how they compare against a sako quad for accuracy as always afraid of buying used.

And I won the Durham and Cleveland benchrest postal comp with mine.

I have three of the variants - I'd love to find a full stock one.

I dare say there will be little if any difference to a good Sako Quad assuming yours is performing as it should and you have found an ammo it likes, the difference in the P94S is its build quality.

As for your fears of buying second hand which I can understand. Im quite well known in the rifle building world these days and selling you a rifle that didnt shoot wouldn't be good for an excellent reputation I have worked very hard to build. If you can shoot then you wouldn't be disappointed in this rifles accuracy. I found it preferred SK Standard and SK Match for best group accuracy but for rabbits I used Eley Subs and Ive regularly head shot rabbits at 100yds with a good rest and given still conditions.

I remember taking a young lad out shooting rabbits, he had bought a .17 HMR as his first rifle because his dad had told him .22LRs were only good for 50yds. His first rabbit was headshot at 92yds, his second at 98yds. It was a nice still summer evening so it was possible to push the ranges a bit. I think I also got one at 110yds that evening, all of these were ranged and then dialled for with an 8-32x Sightron.

If I keep reminiscing like this I can see me ending up keeping her! 😁
