    Nice one Sako75. I had a Sako 75 stainless in 270Win for deer stalking. I could get 0.3" (7.6mm) 3 shot groups at 100m. I'd say you'll get better accuracy if that's what your after. But with 3/4" groups if you ever miss a derr you'll know not to blame the Sako :)
    For me though the gun was far more accurate then I was :) Still annoyed that I sold it :(

    is a 243 your using ,you will get federal 100gr /80gr soft points cheaper than that. the laupa sound expensive.
    the federal shoot very tight groups in my two rifles

    please note its illegal to shoot a deer one hour before sun rise or one hour after sun set,not saying your are of course.

    thanks pakas,im sure i could get better groupings with the 75 but i havnt had the chance to do a bit of zeroing in since i shot the 3/4 inch grouping. the minute i zeroed it in with my new scope i was out to pop a fox:). why did you sell your 75 and what did you replace it with???
