This is a very nice, low round count (around 400 rounds fired) Sako A II custom built by by Bob Jourdan (gunsmith and writer for Precision Shooting magazine) in 1993. Mr. Jourdan had a wonderful reputation for putting out real quality work and was a huge advocate for ACKLEY chamberings as well.
Features:
SAKO AII made in Finland action (virtually the same as 579 Forester)
McMillan Black Varmint stock
24" Hart 1:12 twist, 24" stainless barrel with mini scroll finish
.250 Savage Ackley Improved chamber
Sako Optilock base set with 1" medium rings included (SCOPE NOT INCLUDED)
Factory adjustable Sako trigger, very nice, around 2lbs and crisp.
Weight of bare rifle is 9lbs, 1oz (weight as shown in pics is about 10lbs 10oz with scope)
Extras included
1. 46 pieces of R-P Brass, three firings, in good shape
2. Redding custom made bushing die set, uses S bushing, will come with the 279 bushing
3. 50pcs R-P 250 savage brass
4. 2 modified cases for the Hornady OAL tool
The group pictured here was shot by previous owner with some of his reloads using Nosler silver tip bullets. He couldn't find the load data for these,
"The group pictured was .595" for 5 shots at 100yds. I pulled the first shot, so I went for 5 after that at a different point of aim." - previous owner quote
The bolt face has a minor bit of etching around the primer edge, as shown in pic, does not affect anything, leave no marks on brass
The rifle loads, fires, extracts and works perfect in all ways. No malfunctions or hang ups anywhere. It runs like a Sako should but improved by Mr. Jourdan.
Also, can include probably 1500+ bullets for additional $170 shipped to you
$1250 for rifle, dies, brass and rings; split shipping to your FFL
