There was a Sako through the workshop some time back, a 500J rifle, new

The client wanted an additional round down in the box and wanted reliability work done to ensure feeding/extraction/ejection etc

Fellow wanted the rifle to "shoot himself out of a group of Cape Buffalo" if necessary

Great rifle, absolute hammer of a cartridge - and it was accurate

I think there's a video short on John's Facebook from the last handful of cartridges that I'd run through it on the ranch

Broke quite a few large rocks in half with that thing on a trail walk

I would not consider putting a scope on one of these rifles
Dot maybe, but not a scope
