Some time back, I saw an article ("Guns and Ammo"?) on a new controlled-round feed safari gun from Sako. From the pictures, it appeared that the gun had very classic lines with a quarter-rib and folding express sights.

It was a prototype gun and had not yet been released for sale.

The only reference to the safari grade rifle on the Sako web site is in the custom shop section. It shows two matched rifles given away at SCI 2002.

Anybody know anything about this model Sako yet? Are they out yet? How much do they cost?

The safari model is a custom offer and limited numbers will be sold. It features controlled round feeding, thanks to a smalll modification on the bolt.
Price, in europe, is comparable to Reimer Johanssen, or Dakota.

I had a post going about the Sako.
