Sako A7 tecomate 300wsm
« on: June 23, 2013, 07:01:34 AM »
Well I am finally ready to head to the range.  It has taken me a while to put this rifle together the way I wanted.  I was hung up on what scope rings I wanted to put on it.  I ended up with the night force titaniums. It is topped with a leupold vx3 6.5x20.  I am pretty excited to get out and do some long range shooting!!

Great rifle, great cartridge! I'm going to purchase a Sako here fairly soon in the same chambering(.300 WSM). I just can't make up my mind between the A7 and the 85 Finnlight?


What after market stock did you go with?

I believe that is the stock that comes standard on the tecomate model?

There isn't anything cheap about this sucker.  Even the scope covers cost what I paid for my first .22. :chuckle:

I missed the "Tecomate" great looking rifle, especially being a all factory offering. Looks like a A7 Tecomate it is. Local gunshop I purchase through doesn't open for a bit. So it's coffee time untill I can order one up. Thanks for sharing your rifle, great choice in glass. That cartridge is capable of using up all the elevation dope on that scope.😉

I'm hoping it will handle it.  I bought it for the high country.

You're going to love that gun, I've got the 270 Tecomate and I'm very strongly thinking about buying the 300 as well.

Nice looking rig you have there  8) let us know how she shoots. Its a Sako so I would expect nothing less than sub-moa but it would be interesting to note what she likes to eat.

My Tikka 300 WSM LOVES Federal Vital-Shoks w 180gr Accubonds. I get 1/2 moa out of it with those pills  ;)
