Sako A7 Roughtech
@ 06:10 pm (GMT) |
Jacob JensenHi!Take a look at the new Sako A7 Roughtech. looks like the action/recoil lug design is slightly different from the original A7. On the roughtech it looks like the recoil lug is a part of the action and not floating. Watch this video (forward to 22.00 min). http://www.deerhunter.dk/da/news/34-raevejagt-med-sako-a7-roughtech Any comments on the design? It also comes in af Roughtech Range with another stock design and heavier barrel. J. |

Nathan FosterRe: Sako A7 RoughtechHi Jacob, the stock is much like the B&C stock for a Tikka T3 with the lug built into the stock.The action has no lug, just a slot. It is basically a copy of the T3 without being a T3. Just another way to try and get costs down to that of Tikka rifle production while still charging a hefty fee for the Sako price tag- all driven by Beretta. The fixed lug within the ali chassis can work, but it can also make bedding difficult. If a rifle needs to be bedded, the lug in the stock must be milled out, then a floating lug fitted as shown in our bedding instructions and as described in the books. This allows the lug to be aligned with the action. The Accurizing book helps explain a lot of this and also offers quick temp to mid term fixes for those who wish to avoid bedding.

Jacob JensenRe: Sako A7 RoughtechThx Nathan - I'll consider the Roughtech as a Tikka T3 Deluxe with a good stock that needs modification.... ;-)J. |
