Sako S20 Precision and 308 Winchester combination

The Sako S20 Precision chambered in the ever popular 308 Winchester Caliber is a true all round rifle. Introduced in 1952, the 308 Winchester is still one of the most popular,  versatile and widely used rifle calibers today. The range of bullets that seem to be the most popular is in the 150 to 180 grain range. The flatter trajectories with a muzzle velocity around the 2600 to 2900 ft/s mark, makes this a useful rifle for hunting medium to larger bodied antelope like Kudu, Eland and Blue Wildebeest.

The ability of the 308 Winchester Caliber to achieve good velocity with moderate recoil and still deliver knock down power, make it a great choice for hunters. It also has excellent accuracy potential and is favored by many target shooters. As the 308 Winchester fits into short bolt actions and delivers almost the same energy as the .30-06 Springfield with medium weight bullets it has become one of the most popular cartridges in the world.

Durable Recoil Pad and Length of Pull adjustment

Sako S20 Precision Rifles are fitted with the latest in recoil pad technology. It reduces the impact of the recoil on the shooter which is a very useful feature, especially on the heavier recoiling calibers. The robust pad allows you to fully concentrate on the accuracy of your shots. The Length of Pull can also be adjusted to personal preference with 5mm spacers.

Trigger

The wide and smooth design of the trigger distributes pressure to a larger area, thus improving the feel of trigger sensitivity. For the most optimal trigger ergonomics that fits different hand sizes, it’s possible to move the trigger either backwards (by 3 mm) or forwards (by 4 mm) with an Allen key. The weight of pull can also be adjusted (1–2 kg / 2–4 lbs). S20 triggers are available in single stage or two stage variants.

Bolt

The bolt is manufactured from high-grade, weather-resistant stainless steel, the barrel shroud has a steel core, and the bolt handle is interchangeable. The locking lug surface area is high, increasing safety and performance, and its design enables smooth, fast, safe and precise operation of the bolt and the rifle. The one piece bolt opens with a 70° bolt handle lift.
Sako matches the size of the action to the caliber.
Sako’s combination of the extractor riding low in the ejection port and the receiver mounted ejector means that fired cases leave the action at a low angle and can be neatly deposited in the shooters hand by opening the bolt slowly.

Barrel

All Sako S20 feature match-grade cold hammer forged barrels, making them durable, accurate and with excellent tolerances. The cold hammer forging technique changes the structure of the steel, increasing its toughness and making the barrel life of your rifle longer. Sako barrels do not have to be broken in, but instead have superb out-of-the-box accuracy.  The Sako S20 muzzle is threaded and features a target-style crown. The barrel has a satin finish.

Metallic Bolt Shroud

Robustness and quality go hand in hand. The metallic bolt shroud covers and shields the rear of the bolt body and the firing pin. A red pin indicate when the rifle is loaded. The bolt shroud is stylishly design to taper with the rear of the action.

Detachable Magazine

The magazine is made of highly robust glass-reinforced composite, a durable material that’s not affected by changes in temperature. A composite magazine doesn’t change its structure when dropped (contrary to a metal magazine), ensuring reliable feeding. You can find the caliber markings on the magazine. S20 magazines can also be disassembled for maintenance.

Scope Mounting Options

The Sako S20 has a picatinny rail that is machined directly into the steel surface of the receiver. Any scope rings that attach on a weaver or picatinny style mount can be used on the Sako S20.
