MikelravyLooks great! Personally I'd opt for lower rings though.

shootawayA scoped lion killer! Sako`s are good rifles IMO, especially if used like this.You could replace that barrel with a Krieger and that would be better-muzzle break too.You could even change the scope with one that has a larger bell for light gathering and better view.

NorthGaAireFYI- Sakos seem to like to ping empty brass off the scope/turret housing when mounted low. The fixed ejector is mounted in the bottom of the bolt face. Hence you have to use slightly taller rings in the Leupold ring-mount line unless you use the Sako optilock which mounts bases on top of the receiver bases. Super tall and a little ugly.
I also just bought a Sako .375H&H, the Kodiak model. It is indeed a buffalo killer. Yours looks superb! Enjoy!

I also have a sako 85 kodia in 375 h&h and it kills grizzly bears dead. I really like the way it comes up and lines up to what ever you are going to shoot.
