I never thought I'd see a 17
Are those the varmint or sporter barrels you have for your sako quad, that 22 mag barrel is really accurate, what's the best group you have had with it
Chris M,
All barrels are the varmint profile.
In regard to the 22 mag, it is just pure luck that the ammo on the dealer's shelf (CCI V-Max) is what I bought and performs best so far. Five shot groups such as the one shown in the video are common.
For the 22LR barrel, the Norma Match ammo shown in the Tikka T1X Transformation video works very well in the Sako. Performance is on par or slightly better than the Tikka. Given California's ridiculous ammunition regulations, I haven't had the opportunity to try enough variety of ammo to do either the Sako or the Tikka justice in terms of finding what performs best in 22LR. The same goes for the 17HMR barrel.
Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching!
Something i never thought to see a .22 mag more accurate than the .22lr. Why are the .22 mag holes larger than the .22 lr are the projectiles key-holing?
Karl,
Good question.
I believe I just got lucky with the .22 mag. barrel and ammunition combination. Conversely, the .22 LR conversion did not shoot well with the ammo shown in the video. It will shoot very well with match ammo such as Norma or Federal, though I don't have any video at the moment to demonstrate that.
Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!
I have a cz 22mag it is accurate
why wouldn't it be more accurate ?
does it come with semi auto?
To the best of my knowledge, no, it is not available in semi auto.
Thanks for watching!
What does it come in other calibers cheers Yogi 🤙🤙
Brett,
As far as I know, you can purchase barrels chambered in 22LR, 22WMR, 17HMR and 17HM2 for the Sako Quad. EuroOptic usually has factory Sako barrels as well as Lilja barrels in stock for this rifle.
Thanks for watching!
What's the advantages of multi-caliber sniping rifles?
Patrick,
Honestly and to be succinct, none as far as I can tell. I do not recommend them.
They are a distraction if you are trying to become proficient with a given rifle, especially if you are changing calibers and re-zeroing your optic all the time.
I recommend living by the old axiom "beware the man with one gun", though I would modify that by saying beware the man with one rifle/cartridge/bullet/optic. The logic being that a rifleman who's been shooting thousands of rounds through his Remington 700 Varmint, 308 Winchester with 168 SMK's his whole life has a higher level of proficiency than some guy with a half dozen multi caliber rifles, each with an assortment of conversions.
If you would like to read my thoughts on a specific rifle featured on this channel, I will be happy to oblige.
Thanks for you question and thanks for watching!
In my country you're only allows 6 guns. However you can have different barrels for different guns registered on just 1. We are also quite picky with what animals we can hunt with what caliber. 22 no animals larger than a hare (but not hare). 22 mag or 17 hmr on the other hand can hunting everything up to a deer (but not deer). If you are gonna train a few 1000 shots with a 22 lr (about 15 cents usd a pop here) Vs 22 (mag / hmr) you're talking 60 cents a pop. That makes a difference in the long run asking me.
