Ol` JoeI`ve got one in `06. The rifles have a modified Sako receiver with a Kreiger barrel, and a McMillian stock. Mine shoots around 3/4 - 1 moa with just about anything I put in it for 3 rds.I bought mine 7-8 years ago and haven`t seen one on the shelves around here for quite a while, I don`t know if they are still available or not. They`re a nice rifle but a bit heavy, I`d quess about 8 lbs loaded, with out scope.

tiggertateThey are very fine rifles but a tad heavy like the early Sako L61R. Not a bad thing unless you're going sheep hunting.
