Fluffy, as always, you haz taste.

Oh, and page 3 ownage!

You clearly are not a real Arfcommer: no toes in the pic.

Yuuuuuup.  Anyone seen any .41 AE or Etronix ammo around?

See, those were yesteryear's ''flavor of the day'' rounds.

And actually, I knew someone last year that had about 5K of .41AE he was trying to dump.

Wasn't the only thing different about ETRONIX ammo the primer itself when it came to the cartridge?

I am at the range now. My buddy is with me and prior to today he had never fired a centerfire bolt action rifle before. Here's his group with the Sako at 100 yards



The load was my Garand load.

48 grains of IMR 4895, together with 150 grain Hornady SST bullets.

So there you go.  I have my deer load for this fall.

Looks to me like you're ready to go and with a great rifle!

pretty much this.....  I am old, stupid old.  And even I read that post going "wtf is wrong with you boy"

gotta be alcohol involved

You say that you are old and stupid. I agree with you.

I'm good.

OP is correct.  I had a pre-Garcia Sako Forester in .243.  Superb rifle.

close, but I like a lighter version

great looking rifle, but, I see no way to mount the weapon light or laser

My belly shields my toes…. In fact , I never see them unless I’m walking

I guess you have to use what Justin says you can have.  Question,  at what age do your balls fall off in Canada?

Pretty rifle OP.

Enjoy it in good health!

(Kill a møøse with it and post pics so those not in the know get to know)

If that rifle is over 10k joules Justin will be coming for it.

Shucks chilluns, when we was growing up, our .22's weighed more then your fancy pants .30 calibers of today and we carried them all day without complaining. Iffn we didn't bring home 5 rabbits with 5 rounds we were beaten and sent to bed without supper which usually consisted of mashed turnips, some old bread, and a lump of boiled meat the butcher couldn't sell that day.

And these .30 cal's took way more deer back in the day then people want to admit. Nowadays they argue they don't even have enough oomph to take out anything that weighs more then 30 pounds.

That stock wouldn't work for me because I shoot rifles left-handed.

The only caliber you'll ever need.
If it were a pre64 model 70 action it would be perfect .

You lost me at "It doesn't need pic rails".  Pic rails are probably one of the greatest inventions of the last 100 years.  Along with MOLLE.  No more dealing with stupid fucking individual Weaver mounts, it's one en bloc mount, one fucking rail, to rule them all.  And I'm a boomer.

I gotta admit, beautiful as wood is, I prefer synthetic for shooters.

Two main failures.  Bolt handle on the wrong side and no iron sights.

That bolt's on God's side, sonny!

Not bad, needs a can.

This is the unfortunate truth. It shouldn't be, but it is. That said it does somewhat limit shitheads.

Signed, a guy who was raised hunting with access to some of the best deer hunting land in the state.

Damn fine looking rifle in a damn fine caliber, OP.

Needs 6X Lyman Alaskan.

When I originally posted this thread, I caused a lot of offense. But if you expect me to apologize, you're wrong.

Instead I am going to double down. I am even more committed to my original position after something that happened today.

I am in Edmonton today and I stopped by at one of my favorite gunshops. The guy behind the counter knows me and he knows that I am a big CZ fan.

So he told me that he had one of CZ's latest rifles. He handed me something called the CZ-600 Ergo. When I held it, I thought at first that CZ had come out with a super-economy disposable rifle to compete with Mossberg or Remington.

Even so, I felt bile rise to the back of my throat. How could a formerly renowned marque such as Ceska Zbrojovka sink so deeply into the muck and the sludge? This rifle is a hodge podge of cheap-jack ingredients carelessly and haphazardly thrown together. The resulting putrid mess is simply disgusting--especially since this abomination costs $1300!

I can afford to buy any rifle I want; however, I cannot afford to even look at this one. It leaves me feeling sad, demoralized and sick at heart.

So heed my advice and go looking for quality older rifles. If you get the right used rifle, you can still have a piece to feel proud of. If necessary an older rifle can be rebuilt or restored. But whatever you do, do not waste time with garbage. You do not want to feel ashamed.

It pains me to say this, but I am done with CZ.


Here's the CZ-600 Ergo.  I was going to say that it looks like it was designed by Target Target; however, even he has a slight modicum of taste and sensibility

Creedmoor is a man's rifle:

I have one with a 1907 sling and a 3-9 Loopy VX1. The trigger on that rifle is amazing.

OPs rifle is from the day when the shooter mattered way more than the rifle.
