Thanks for the heads up. I just checked your site and liked the pricing on some of your demos and T3s!

I expect that it will function well and shoot accurately, but appearance - YUK!

And I picked my my T3x 7mm RemMag AND my TacA1 6.5CR within the last 12 months

That S20 is gonna be awesome. Picatinny mounts directly machined into the top if the action! Pick up some 20 or 30 MOA rings and you're in business.

Agreed. That photo delivered a severe blow to my optic nerve.

If you scroll through their specs, they make a tactical one with a butt hook(not the thumb hole shown) that looks pretty dang interesting.

Just got my new S20 from local dealer. First shots fired and I have to say that I really like this gun! It is 6.5 Creedmoor, precision stock and 2-stage trigger.

Weather was not best for tight groups and scope was my "left on shelf"-scope but anyways did get some first feelings. With handloaded ammo, proper support and better weather this rifle can produce good results. This group was shot with Sako TRG ammo, 8g Scenar bullet. Did try also Sako Range 9,3g FMJBT but it was not so good.

 

[Kracken McGraw]

Very nice, lots of nice features for a all factory setup. Group looks great for first time out!

 

[Juppe12]

Thanks. Weather was windy and quite cold -10 degrees celsius. With gloves on its more like hunting shooting
of course gun was accurate for a factory rifle...but the bolt! Bolt was so smoooooth and I do have Tikka which is smooth. But this is just smoother.
Just waiting Forster dies to arrive from US to make some proper ammo

Great looking rifle and great shooting

Thanks!

Is a set trigger an option on one configured like yours? I like my set triggers on other Sakos I have. How adjustable is the two stage?

I think that at this moment only 1-stage and 2-stage are available. Seems that trigger is usual Sako/Tikka trigger setup, some little differences might be, haven't compared yet to my Tikka. As usual you can adjust trigger between 1-2kg. Not sure if Yo-Daves trigger spring would fit to this. Trigger is usual Sako/Tikka quality, very crisp, no creep at all
