Sako Black Bear rifle in 9.3x62

[spike.t]

finally got my sako black bear in 9.3x62 today. it is very light at 7lbs and has a short 21 1/4 inch barrel, which i like. it takes 5 rnds in the mag and one in the chamber.it has a detachable mag but can also be loaded from the top as well. it comes up very nicely with the sights perfectly aligned for me. its heading rapidly up the list of favourite toys the more i check it out

Very fine rifle. I'm the proud owner of a Sako 85 classic in 30-06 and I love it.

I'm thinking of buying a Black Bear for the Hogs, a nocturnal rifle

Great rifles - I have the Arctos in 30-06. Same rifle with a walnut stock. Mine shoots minute of a US nickel with darn near everything I feed it. I put a Leica 2.5x10 on it and it is my go to, general purpose rifle for stateside game. Almost pulled the trigger on the 9.3x62 (Euro-optic has them on hand) but already own a mauser in that caliber.

Enjoy the rifle! I have one (85, not part of the bear series) in .300 Win Mag with the same stock and I love the grip I can get on it when hunting in the rain.

Are you trying to tell us that you took your Sako Black Bear to bed with you, two nights in a row?

Great piece of kit, by the way.
