Well, I haven't bit on a new production rifle in a while (last was a S2 Blaser). In fact most of my battery is a lot older than I am - which means old! But this is the coolest rifle that I have had in a while. It is compact, super accurate, and is a weird mix of traditional and modern attributes (great wood and satin blue, barrel band swivel along with high viz open sights and barrel flutes. Went ahead and bought the '06 as a general purpose rifle - but it can also be had in 9.3x62.

The Sakos are excellent rifles. I have a Sako 75 Stainless Synthetic in .338 WM and love it. Enjoy!

Congratulations. Are you going to post any photos?

Nice Report! Im about to pull the trigger on booking the LDE with Patrick. I have been talking about it with him for about 3 yrs now. Romain hit me up the other day with an offer I can't refuse for 2027.

Andrew, I commented that your on 375 H&H for sale was the fair price.

Like I commented, my classic stainless has the original 24” barrel.

Did you buy yours with the barrel already cut down to 21” or did you do it (or a gunsmith)?
