Jeff,

My first varmint rifle was a Remington. If it had been a Sako I think I would still have it.

Good luck.

regardless of what you hear in this room, if it shoots 1.5in at 100yds, be happy. I don't know your skill level re-loading nor shooting but as you become more familar with your rifle and reloading for it, the groups will shrink. You didn't say what calibre it is. [Big Grin]

22-250 If it does not shoot better than that I'll
sell it!

Shot the sako Sunday.With winchester 45 gr hp the
gun shot 3/4 inch 5 shot groups.I think I'll keep
the gun.I should be able to get 1/2 inch groups
fairly easily.1st sako,I like them. [Big Grin]
