Greetings Gentlemen,

I would like a Single Set Trigger for a left hand Sako. Could anyone recommend a good single set trigger made for the Sako?

Also would like a peep sight. Any alternatives to the Sako peep sight?

Thank you in advance, very much appreciate you taking the time and effort to answer.
Richard

G'Day Richard,

Which model Sako?
As in the older type or the newer Model 75 or 85?

If I remember correctly, Canjar in the US (Co), used to make them for all kinds of rifles.
I'm not sure if they are still in business?

Hope that helps.

Doh!

If it's an 85, Sako makes an optional set trigger for it for those who wear green wool and talk funny.

Sorry Gents. One is a M591, the other is a IV. Both left handed. I'll check Canjar.
Any thoughts on a peep sight? I'm not keen to drill and tap the action but guess I could go that route. The factory peep does not seem pleasing to my eye.
Thanks for the help guys, Richard

(you be makin fun uve mie green wool eh?)

Guys, it would seem Canjar is out of business; if not they make themselves very difficult to find.

Canjar is out of business. Look up Rechnagel- New England Guns, NH and you can find triggers like the Canjar along with many others. I had a Sako Canjar set years ago, but let it slip away. I have only one single set Canjar in my mini Mauser 204 Ruger. I paid around $200 dollars and fitted it to the mini mauser.

Make sure you actually shoot a SST, or DST before you get one; they can cause more drama than necessary when hunting. You think you want a two ounce trigger until you get into the field with one.
I have.

Thank you Les, will check them out.

I have a peep sight that fits on to the tapered dovetail and seemed to work fine when I tested it as an emergency standby.

I can't think of the name and it is marked only with an A in a circle. It's a very simple but sturdy one with the large aperture sliding laterally in a dovetail, positioned by screws from each side. Elevation is by turning the threaded 'ghost ring' shank up or down, in 180-degree increments.

I dislike the Sako peeps because the holes are too small and the surrounds too big - OK for target shooting perhaps.

Beware of any model that uses a cross arm unsupported on the outer side; a decent fall will press the arm down, wrecking zero and aesthetics. A stop screw on the outer end could save that from happening, of course.

Well, Thirdbite, I saw the pamphlet recently but filed it so securely it will probably never be seen again.

However, I remembered the name was just a couple of letters, so I googled the two I could guess at, A and O and came up with this:

So, the brand may in fact be XS but searching AO got me there. I had no front sight when I bought it but gave the rear one to the gunsmith and he chose the correct one to go with it.

In case you're interested, I used a square post up front and filed it off at 45 degrees to make a simple soughdough. Too lazy to bronze it, I'll just rub the rust off with a girl's nail emery board if it's stopped shining when I need it.

Cheers
