RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX, The SAKO L-series boltactions including my old .375 H&H AIII/AV are the best bolt action rifles ever made. Period. Absolutely dead reliable, action as good as a Mauser 98, they never should have "improved" them.
I have an older Vixen in .222---incredible gun---action is like running a hot knife through butter...agree with 9.3---out of the box they truly are an awesome gun--they had some problems in the '60's from what I hear in the quality control dept..but most are a great gun..
Have a new model 75 in .375 H&H--shoot good with most loads through it and great with others---under an 1" at 100--which is plenty for that caliber..
9.3 what do you mean--2 lugs are enough--Weatherby has 9--does that make them 4x's as good..
sorry , couldn't resist..
