Has anyone seen a Sako 75 Hunter Laminated Stainless?

This rifle is listed on the Sako website in .222 and .223 calibers, stainless short actions with a grey laminated stock, and 22" barrel. Sounds like a perfect predator calling rifle, but has anyone actually seen one? I did a Search on GunsAmerica, but it came up empty. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused1.gif
 
I have seen one in 22-250. I don't think that you can get the .222 in the US. You need to look at Beretta's site. What they have on their site, is what is imported here. Beretta calls the rifle the Grey Wolf. If you are searching guns america, try grey wolf. Very nice looking gun.
 
I've got a synthetic stock stainless 22-250. Real poor ejector on it. Has cost me follow up shots as it doesn't always clear the empty out when trying to put in the next round. Poor design for a top of the line gun.
 
My experiences are different. I have a Sako 75 Hunter in .223 and love the fixed ejector, the short action, and the low bolt throw. It is, BY FAR, the smoothest feeding and fastest bolt gun I have ever experienced. Accurate follow up shots don't take much longer than a semi-auto. The feeding is so smooth that I actually can't tell if the mag has cartridges in or not when working the bolt. My older 30-06 Sako is similar. In contrast, my Remington Model 7 requires MUCH more effort to move the bolt forward on a full magazine in contrast to an empty one. I also love my Sako 75 because it seems to throw everything I feed it to the same point of aim at 100 yards (from light BlueDot loads to full house stuff).
 
Many people actually take the time to install Sako-style ejectors on non-Sako rifles. If you want a perfect, light weight, accurate calling rifle, buy the Sako Finnlight. You won't be sorry---2MG
 
Just took a closer look at my Sako 75 hunters ejector. Then looked at my Ruger's. Both have the fixed ejector. But that's where everything is different and is starting to make sense. Rugers ejector is larger and with the bolt all the way back it sticks out farther. The ejector is also made to kick the empty out to the side. The Sako fixed edjector is directly on the bottom of the bolt. What the ????? No iron sights on the gun so you have to have a scope. But the empties are supposed to go straight up??? Who the crap made that design!!! bhk, could you look to see if you ejector is at the bottom of your bolt?? What type of scope mounts do you have on yours? Maybe I could change mounts and it would work.
 
I have Sako mounts on all of my guns but one. I have leupold mounts on it. All Sako ejectors are on the bottom. The shells are still shot out the side, not straight up. If you are having problems, you most likly are not pulling the bolt all the way back. I know that people install the extractor on other guns, but I have not heard of anyone installing the ejector.
 
My ejector is on the bottom and the shells eject out the side. I have Leupold low mounts on mine - no problem, although I do note some brass marks on the scope windage turrent that is sitting right over the ejection port.
 
I've been shooting a bolt of some kind or another for 32 years now, pulling the bolt back all the way is not an issue. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif Somethings just not right with this gun or scope mounts or placement of the scope /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif I think I'll try a different scope and see if maybe this helps. The Nikon I have on now has to be all the way back to get my eye relief correct so I can't move it. Hope this works.
