Sako Model 75 Varmint

[P Corncob Bob]

My rifle currently weighs 9 pounds 14 ounces with Sako Optilock 30mm rings installed.

Wanting to shoot rifle for live varmints and also 10-1/2 pound factory rifle class at local club matches.

To make come in at or just under 10-1/2 pounds plans are to use a straight 24X Leupold with 1" rings.

Is there anyone that makes lightweight aluminum 1" scope rings for a Sako model 75 ?

I know some companies make light weight bolt plug shrouds for Remington 700 and Remington 40X, but does anyone make same for a Sako model 75 ?

Detachable steel magazine weighs about 8 ounces. Does any company make light weight replacements ?

Thanks!

I, and many others, dream about some high quality aluminum scope rings for the Sako dovetail. A life long dream for me actually. I hate steel rings....... The ones in my photo are hard chromed Leupolds. They are lighter than the Optilocks but still not "light weight".

Hey Bob,

I have the exact same rifle as well, didn't come with the set trigger although it breaks at a clean 16oz. I love it, I bet you will too. Mine has a preference for 80gr pills when it comes to really tiny holes.. Best of luck with it!

*Drool* over the 243 for sale!!!!
