So Rick, how much different are your loads between the two guns?

We were planning Memorial Weekend, but one in our party can't make that and we are still finishing up building our house so we'l probably reschedule.

I think the Sako 85's V-lam SS are due in to the US in October

They are REALLY outstanding guns...

Glad I bought mine from Rick.

I boycott China whenever I can. It's tough, but I wish more would do the same...

I had a Howa 1500 stainless thumbhole with VXII 4-12x40ao. Sold it for $800 with trigger, bedding job and bore guide.

Plan on a trigger for any Howa as they are terrible and not adjustable near as I can tell.

TD, there's your pics thanks to Rick. Rick, I'll deal with you in a couple of weeks! :eek: :lol: Gary (the snorer :hammer: ) Man I tell ya I had a guy bunk with me last year who snored nonstop and LOUD! After the first night he switched rooms to bunk with a guy who claimed that he could sleep throu...

I never take the darn thing anywhere because it's wel big and clumsy and I don't want to knock it around. I'd like to find some sort of holster that I can use to carry, and for storage.

I went with the Ultradot Match Dot as it has a bunch of dot sizes (2,4,6,8 MOA) selectable, as well as a wide range of intensity. The dots go down to a nice fine point. Sorry I don't know more detail, but the thing works nice! http://www.larrysguns.com/Products/Ultra-Dot-Match-Dot-30mm__UDMD30.aspx ...

I think it's obvious what's on someone's mind...

I think these are the neatest thing since sliced bread, but has anyone ever evaluated how good a job they do? I was really surprised at how dark black my gun patched after running one through twice. I do plan to do some more testing and to make absolutely certain that I did not mistakenly fire the g...

Better to have extra no doubt. My first trip was last year Memorial weekend. We played around a bit Friday eve, had a heck of a day Saturday, and had windy/rainy/cold Sunday so we packed it in. That said, we were satisfied with one good days shooting and even at that it was only a partial day as we ...

I'm far from a professional reloader, but what Rick describes sounds like something that a Forster Co-ax press would pick up on automatically with their floating shell holder. I have this press and their Match dies and they work awesome. I haven't ever checked any runouts though. My reloading techni...

Did a quick sampling of my spent brass. This includes my hand loads and factory ammo. All had similar primer rings/cratering except for the American Ammunition which was the biggest POS I have ever seen. I also consulted with another, more seasoned reloader who has the exact same gun and worked to t...

Yeah, what Rick said to a T

Winchester brass has done well for me. I don't have a lot of firings on it though.

I have Federal, Winchester, American, and Remington brass from factory ammo that works fine. It's only the Hornady that has tight primer pockets...

Is it true they say the safety works bass ackwards on a CZ?

I just picked up a LVSF for a light carry gun and really like it. If Sako made the Finnlight in 204 I'd have probably went that direction, but the little Rem is pretty cheap and has a $50 rebate. They are being discontinued so get one while you can.
