Hey guys, I just purchased a Sako Kodiak in 375 H&H from gun broker............it is new in the box. What are you guys thoughts on these rifles............did I make a solid decision?? Honeybadger
I took a Sako in 375 H&H (all stainless with synthetic stock) to Kodiak twice chasing brownies. It shot excellent with 300 Nosler Partitions. Unfortunately it didn’t find me a big enough brownie. I think you’ll like it.
Awesome, glad to hear you fellas seem to like them..............I know Sako's are supposed to be super smooth........and I have handled several of smaller calibers before......I must say the actions were quite smooth. I am hoping it is fast handling and with good point-ability and shoot-ability. I'm sure I'll like it, I love the 375 H&H, and a definitely plan to keep it open sights.
Sako/Tikka makes some very nice rifles, I own a Tikka in 6.5x55 and its the most accurate rifle ive ever owned. -matt
Just watch the stock. I have seen a Sako 85 300WSM laminate stock crack/de-laminate around the front action screw. Is there a cross-bolt in the front action area?
Well what if I say it is a worthless piece of junk and you shouldn't even open the box or sight it in and being the good internet friend I am I could take it off your hands for about 1/2 the price?? (Not really)congrats on your purchase and let us know how it shoots!!
I have one in 375 H&H. Great rifle. It kicks a bit from the bench but I never felt anything while hunting. I ‘ve already taken it three times to Zimbabwe.
I'll post some pics as soon as I get it guys..........the place I bought it from said it could take five days or so to make it to me.
I think its a great rifle! When I bought 375 H&H, CZ was to me the best option but that Kodiak could corrupt my mind if I was weighing between the two.
I have four Sakos at the moment. Just beautifully made rifles. I intend to add to such numbers soon. The overall accuracy and quality is simply great. You’ll enjoy immensely.
I have a Sako Black Bear in 9.3x62. It is light weight, short and entirely weather resistant. A very handy carrying and using rifle that is particularly well suited to my use on Sambar deer in thick, wet forested mountain country. A small rifle that hits hard !! I'm not a huge Sako fan but this little black-bear has woven it's way in to my heart. You have a fine firearm, hunt with confidence. Good hunting.
