Catch n release for me. Great little rifle but I have other rifles I'm going to concentrate on.
This is a very nice, low round count (around 400 rounds fired) Sako A II custom built by by Bob Jourdan (gunsmith and writer for Precision Shooting magazine)in 1993.
Mr. Jourdan had a wonderful reputation for putting out real quality work, and was a huge advocate for ACKLEY chamberings as well.
Features:
SAKO AII made in Finland action (virtually the same as 579 For
ester)
McMillan Black Varmint stock
24" Hart 1:12 twist, 24" stainless barrel with mini scroll finish (very cool imo)
.250 Savage Ackley Improved chamber
Sako Optilock base set with 1" medium rings included
Factory adjustable Sako trigger, very nice, around 2lbs and crisp.
Weight of bare rifle is about 9.1#
Weight as it sits with scope is about 10.5#
Extras included
1. 50 pieces of R-P Brass, three firings, in good shape
2. Redding custom made bushing die set, uses S bushing, will come with the 279 bushing
3. 50pcs R-P 250 savage brass
The group pictured here was shot by previous owner with some of his reloads using Nosler silver tip bullets. He couldn't find the load data for these, but there is one unfired as an example that works pretty well.
"The group pictured was .595" for 5 shots at 100yds . I pulled the first shot, so I went for 5 after that at a different point of aim." - previous owner quote
The bolt face has a minor bit of etching around the primer edge, as shown in pic.
The rifle loads, fires, extracts and works perfect in all ways. No malfunctions or hang ups anywhere. It runs like a Sako should, but improved by Mr. Jourdan. Borescope shows very minor fire cracking or wear, matching the estimate on rounds fired.
$1400 split shipping (no scope)
$1500 plus shipping with Nikon Prostaff 5 4.5-18x40
