Honestly I am really impressed with this model, very light and accurate. I reload some ammo using a load Bobby Tomek recommended me (140 gr Sierra GK with 47gr of RL-22).

3 shots inside a centimeter (less than half an inch) at 100 yards and with 20 clicks UP it shot 3 shots inside an inch at 300 yards !!!

The 100 yard target
THANKS BOBBY !!

Beautiful rifle.....and such a shooter .....

I think you'll find that 120 grain bullets will do the job nicely for targets under 300 pounds but the 140s are a fine bullet too. I like H-4350 in mine.

As you probably already know, the 6.5 X 55 is a very useful round and yours is a very fine package for it.

Great rifle, great round.
Enjoy.

Sako and the 6.5x55 go together like peas and carrots. Nice score!!

SAKO................Machining is done right from the factory!!! 6.5 diameter(.264)..........Physically un-matched for ballistic performance!! The 2 together should be spectacular!! 260 Remington would work as well. GHD

That's a good set up, a mate of mine has much the same and he's very pleased with it.
I'm about to load some 6.6x55 ammo with Remington 140 grain corelocked and RL 22, I hope they shoot as well as yours do.

You'll never be sorry ! Reasonable loads [not wimp USA loads ] are 2750-2850 with 140 gr bullet .I used that for 25 years on deer , using 4350.

May I suggest you get a new tape measure.....PM me your address and I'll send you one!

Thanks gentlemen !!

I want to thank also Mike Detorre for sending me the Leupols bases you see in the pictures !!!

Great rifle, great cartridge, great group!..

Nice rifle....

I've got a couple Swedes in Tikka T3...

Well, that makes 3 T3 swedes in UT then. Got mine 2nd hand for $400.

To the OP, the 130gr accubond offers a nice balance between energy and trajectory.
