a section of this post (( http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/index...=78685&st=0 )) is below - Deker raised some very true points regarding the SAKO Quad ;

 

According to Sako/GMK the vast majority of Quads are sold as complete guns and the majority of those are HMR!

 

Problems with this system are .....

1 Cost Involved

2 Barrel availability..or more specifically the lack of it

3 Scope Zero

4 Only ever one rifle so impossible to let your lad or pal use "the other one"

5 Can't mix light and heavy barrels on the same stock.

6 A problem with 1 action/stock/butt/anything but the barrel, means you have NO rifles

7 Everything else I have forgotten

 

All the best

I rate mine as first class on both counts. I bought mine just as a 17HMR with a view in the very long term maybe buying a 22LR barrel, BUT can never see myself doing that now. It will stay as a 17HMR. It's also not the most expensive one out there, and ok not the cheapest, but it's top quality! Mine will group an inch at 100m and on a really good day 3/4inch. I use Federal Premium V Shok 17grain. Good luck and I hope you get on well with it.

i dont want to start a debate but i get 1/2 inch groups at 100 yards with remington 17g accutips through a cz 452 for considerably less money. if you can justify spending the extra money then why not? if not get a cz. i havnt heard any complaints about them in the time ive been on this site or the people ive spoken to. :good:

each too there own arveyboy, i bought a sako quad and the gun is top notch i get a 3/4 inch groups with 20gr winnies and 20gr are known to be less accurate then 17gr. i dont think 1/4 inch wil make much diffrence when it comes too dropping rabbits. nearly any hmr will group sub inch at 100 yards if not then theres a problem.i beleive this is just going to be one of theses things the guys with cz's and the guys withs sakos are always going to raise remarks about each others rifles.

exactly. i have no doubt the sako quad is a great piece of kit. however, i couldn't personally justify the extra money it cost for the sako quad when the cz does everything i need it to. definitely a case of personal preference.

The Quad will only be used as a HMR17 what scope and mounts are u using on your quads.

 

THANKS 4 ALL YOUR REPLIES.
