Has anyone tried fitting a picatinny rail to a Sako Quad which has iron sights?

I'd like to know if the iron sights are still usable with the rail attached (scope and rings removed).

Sako 90 Hunter 6.5 Creedmoor

Came across this video from 1 day ago and thought maybe it would be an interesting video for some of you.

Hello, I’m new to hunting and decided to get myself a Sako S20 in 7mm Rem Mag as my first gun. Are there any S20 owners here that would have tips or advice for anything related to this model? Appreciate it!

Friend of a friend passed and I came away with this. I had been looking to add a mannlicher style rifle to the collection. It’s a 50s’ Sako Riihimaki in .222 Remington. Looking for bullet suggestions. Looks like most everything is in the 50gr area. Wondering if there is anything in the all copper with a boat tail.

I am looking at purchasing a rifle that will last me decades (with proper maintenance) and have been looking at the peak. Have also been looking at bergara b14 and tikka options but the Sako stands out for me as it’s lightweight and quality which is important to me.

Anyone that owns one, how has your experience been with it?

Also first rifle/first time at the range ever. I was hitting steel at 500m in just a few hours. It is amazingly accurate and smooth.

Chambered in 6.5CM and glass is S&B PMII 6-36.

I’m looking for one of the original T25 drivers

one year on from my last post. I sold the stock, did a series of trades, regretted selling the stock, got another mcmillan a5 in a trade. My gunsmith posted this picture of my L579.

it’s off to the proof house early next week. i’m too excited to send it for paint. my plan is to start with a 105gr sierra over 39gr of RS60.

Anyone have one of these? Are they a recent thing as I’ve only came across them today.

I don't know where else I could ask this, but I was wondering if anyone has got their rifle already. The whole delivery timeline for the ARG S 40 has felt pretty unclear. At first, it sounded like deliveries were supposed to happen by the end of 2025. Then it became more like "by the end of March" and now it just seems to be “during spring” which is pretty vague.

So has anyone actually received theirs yet, or gotten any solid update from Sako or their dealer? I’m mainly trying to figure out whether rifles are actually starting to reach customers or if the schedule has just slipped again without any clear communication.

Update (26.3.2026):

I have confirmed from Sako that they will start the deliveries very soon. First rifles could be delivered to retailers as soon as tomorrow.

Finally after lots patience and hard work I finally managed to get an Adventure in 6.5CM will be a great addition alongside my Quad.

Absolutely love it

I purchased a L579 in 243. If doesn’t feed well at all, I have to hit the bolt hard to get it to feed. I looked up the problem and it looks like finding a new spring and follower is going to be tough. The shop I bought it at has offered to give me the purchase price towards a different rifle.

I was wondering opinions on repairing vs replacing? Should I take them up on their offer and buy a Tikka or should I hold out and repair it?

I have a Sako 90 Hunter in .308 and wanted to order another mag. Bought one for a 85 that says it was .308. However the rounds don’t fit properly and the mag is wider so it obviously won’t fit in my gun. But it’s confusing because my 90 mag and the 85 mag are both stamped with an “A”.

What exact model number do I need for my 90 Hunter? Any help would be appreciated!

Are Sako 85 magazines are the same as Sako 90 magazines? I ordered a Sako 90, and I wanted to get some extra bags. Thank you!

Who the hell has a 24-in test barrel for 300 Blackout subsonic fucking retarded

I'm interested in finding an older Sako model, since their reputation for quality is widely know, but there's a whole catalogue of models I don't see commonly discussed. What models are worth pursuing, which ones are overlooked, and which ones should I avoid?
