Can't believe that you're selling it mate! I would love that stock though

I'd love that, exactly what I'm after but a house move means I'm skint! Looks like a lovely rifle.

Hello,
What barrel length is it?
I've been looking for a stalking / range rifle (Sako 85 ) but I wonder is this SSG heavy?
What is the accuracy like from this?
Couldn't you sell the scope for more on it's own than £700 in a package?
Regards
Phil

The rifle as standard is 9.1lbs. Add a little for the bottom metal, heavier mag and McMillan stock. The barrel is 25.6" plus the brake.

I have used it stalking a few times - from a high seat and over a 1000 acre farm so I spent the day carrying it. Its not light but its not unbearable neither.

Accuracy ? I am getting .5 moa with NRA RWS ammo. So, with handloads I would imagine .3 moa should be achieveable.

I managed a 2nd place with it in McQueens and a few "200 yard any rifle" gold and silver medals at NRA matches. Its certainly competitive in terms of accuracy.

The scope - its not mint outside as this is the 3rd rifle its been on. And I got it cheap originally, so to be honest the price is realistic. And if it does not sell, I will happily put the scope on the LMT !!

Decided to keep the scope to put on the LMT.

Rifle inc rings, mcmillan stock, harris bipod, bradley arms brake, monopod and 3 mags still available.

NOW SOLD.
