FN Sako In 375 Weatherby
      #53747 - 31/03/06 04:52 PM

I had a case of "itchy mouse finger" a few days ago and bought an earlier FN action Sako re-chambered to 375 Weatherby. It is a seemingly nice older Sako with one floding, one standing and a usual Sako MC stock of figured wood and basket-weave checkering...not my favorite, but better than skip-line, IMO.

I need opinions on the 375 Wby. Is there any advantage to it over the parent 375, and what are some of the members' pet loads, both in heavy bullets and in lighter bullets? Any data or experiences appreciated.

IMO you've made a fine purchase. I think the older Sakos are very well made, and also generally quite accurate. The 375 Weatherby is a step up over the parent H&H, as are almost all the 375 Improved versions. Expect its performance to be on par with the 375 Ackley Improved. Usually you can expect 100 to 200 fps higher velocities in the improved versions, depending on the individual rifle, powder, bullets, etc. I would love to see what kind of velocity you can get using the new TSX bullet.
