Dec 26, 2023 · I recently got a sako a1 .222 having wanted one for some time. I have to say I was expecting better accuracy having heard the multiple reports of easy to load for and super accurate. These are two 10 shot groups off a bag on my car bonnet at 100m it was a little blustery but nothing terrible.

May 28, 2011 · I have bought a Sako 222 and believed it to be a L461 but it has A1 on the reciever and there is no L461 on it anywhere. Are they the same action? Also, are there 2 different action lengths for the 222 and 222 magnum?

May 27, 2015 · All of the S series actions are the same diameter, just different lengths to accomadate the longer chamberings offered, ie S491, S591, and S691. The S491 also has a round removeable recoil lug among the other differences compared to a integral lug on the earlier L and A series actions.

Dec 9, 2024 · I was online on Guns International just before Thanksgiving last week, looking for a nice Sako P72 at a reasonable price. Didn't find one, but practically forgot all about it when I found a very nice A1 in 222 that was in what appeared to be a very attractive custom stock.

Mar 20, 2009 · It would be rare to come across a 222 that didn't shoot under an inch at 100. Some will do much better. Most of that is more dependant on your trigger-pulling ability and loads. The really expensive Sakos you see are usually either near mint condition, limited production (Deluxe, etc), unusual caliber, or a combination thereof.

Dec 9, 2013 · That's right up there with a Golden Bear, a 222 Mag Mannlicher, a L46 in Bee, 32-20 or 7mm Sako. The belted mag carbines with 20" barrels were kinda weird, all but the 375 were impractical. Hey shrap, have two 222 Mag HB's in the safe.....ain't sellin tho!!!

222 Remington; 92% blue, excellent bore, very good+ stock, 20'' barrel, Checkered walnut Mannlicher stock with a monte-carlo comb. Black plastic buttplate. Blade front sight with an adjustable rear sight. A 4x Focus Scope is mounted in Sako rings.

Mar 5, 2021 · I have a Sako L461 Vixen with a Canjar trigger in 222. Mine loves 26gr of 748, Fed 205M primer in Rem brass with 50gr Nosler SHOTS. My real accuracy load is the same with Nosler 50gr BT’s. I have also used Benchmark with 53gr SMK’s for wild dogs and this rifle shoots so well it really is remarkable.

Despite people saying all Sako 222's shoot one hole like a laser with anything....it's BS. I've had a few A1's in 222 and they were all fussy little shits. Find the projectile that works for you and stick to it.
