Picked up my sako A7 roughtech range rifle in 308 this afternoon from Sportsmans Warehouse. Seems good so far. All the lugs make contact on the bolt. After buying 700 Sps rifles, its been a while since that has happened. Though my 223 XCR long range's lugs make good contact. Forearm is a little limp, but with the bipod loaded doesn't make contact. I think this going to be a good gun.
Need to get a 20 moa base from Talley at some point, possible upgrade the bolt shroud./floorplate at some point as well.
Only issues is that it seems every imported/lower end firearm has that damn "warning" on the side of the barrel. I hate those labels, they just look bad.
When I ordered it to the store it was 900 plus tax so it ended being 953.00. However I got 106 dollars reimbursed to me, they evidently priced it as the roughtech pro which is 799 plus tax. I told them they were different rifles but they still refunded 106.00 bucks. Hopefully doesn't come back to bite me.
I'm still out on the stock/magazine,. I am really tempted to order a boyds laminate in "wood" coloration and bed it. It is a sako after all lol but for now we'll see. I think, I mean I think I might be able to take a block of aluminum and mill out a new magazine body, the feedlips would be the hard part, that'll be a while.
Any ideas on the boyds stocks? Good or a bad idea?
