The new Sako model 90 has a few upgrades from the previous Sako model 85 including a smoother action, faster lock time, 5 preset adjustable trigger, redesigned ejection port and duel plungers on the bolt. The rifle initially had some fliers out of each 5-shot group but settled in nicely with Sellier & Bellot 55gr SBT shooting a sub-moa 0.6" group @ 100 yards. The finish and feel is a typical Sako, high quality and a pleasure to shoot.The model 90 comes in various calibres including 222, 223, 243, 6.5, 7mm08 & 308, and new versions being the Adventure, Bavarian, Hunter Stainless, Peak, Quest and the Varmint Laminated Stainless. - Спорт

I like the wood 🪵 on this, I like wood on a gun
Your the only Aussie Guntuber I've found, all the ones I watch and subscribed to are American, them being Brandon Herrera The AKGuy, Administrator Results and Demolition Ranch. So it's nice to watch a Guntuber closer to home 😊
@@spinojacka50I appreciate that, let’s hope UA-cam doesn’t unsubscribe you from me
@@ozziereviews I have a habit of checking who I'm subscribed to, even Brandon Herrera states this issue on his channel so I always check.
Oh and another Guntuber I'm subscribed to and watch is Kentucky Ballistics he does a lot more of the rifles and shotguns, but he has a lot more of the bigger calibres like 700 Nitro Express and the Almighty 577 Tyrannasaur The King of Recoil
I had a Sako in the late 70's and had to use it as a Crutch because I broke my ankle while coyote hunting and had to use it to get back to the truck and off to the hospital to get a cast because it was broken so bad. The stock was very scratched up from rocks and sagebrush but it more less saved my life because the temperature was in the low 30s. I enjoy watching your channel.
I have 2 Tikka's a 243 and my Border Collie named Tikka.
Love Sako, Mauser and Steyr .. Just pure Quality
Boy you are spot on mate!
Love your thumbnail matey!
Great review of a beautiful unit, thanks Ozzie!
Beautiful craftsmanship in those Sakos.
They certainly are
Another ripper review mate. I love the trigger adjustment and the multi function magazine. Pure class. I have just got my first 22-250. So happy to see that this time. Thanks Ozzie
Great review, welcome back
the trigger adjustment feature is nice
I just picked up a sako 90 hunter with blued barrel in 308 such a fantastic rifle then paired with a Swarovski
Z6 on top should be a perfect rifle
That’d be a very nice setup 👍
Hey Ozzie. Great review as always. I actually had a play for the first time with a Sako 90 today and was very impressed. Thanks for sharing!
Great to hear!
Just purchased one in the Hunter model in 22-250. Just waiting for the government.
My sauer 404 and cz600 have the trigger weight dial system it's a excellent idea.
My Strasser has a little lever you push inside the trigger group that drops free of the rifle a brilliant safe way to disable a stored firearm
an excellent channel thank you so much for your efforts
I appreciate that comment, thanks for your support mate
Nice rifle! I have little use for a .22-250, but I have a serious itch for a Sako 90.
You will always have my support
Thanks so much I appreciate it mate 👍
Beautiful rifle awrsome review!!!
Thanks mate
Great review. I’m still all good with the bell icon alert cheers
Good to hear
That's a dream rifle of mine.
Excellent review 😀keep up the good work mate
Shall do thanks mate
@@ozziereviewsI’ve just bought one of these 😀
I'm still getting over my three 85's!
Another to look at when I go shopping for a .243....Thanks Ozzie!
😅
Nice one pal i have had a few 22.250's over the years and 3 of which were Sakos, just cracking rifles but i found with this cal you just always get the odd flyer no matter what amo you buy or in my case what i loaded but ye cracking video....
Can't wait for my 300wm Adventure to arrive
Now that will be an interesting rifle, let me know how it goes ok?
Nice. Hopefully not a 2 year wait
Resubscribed for the upteeenth time. Keep charging Ozzie
Great review as always....however we definitely need a review on the new Steiner Predator 8 please!!! Thank you ahead of time!
Would love to see you do a review on the Steiner Predator 8 2-16x42mm scope!
Man, hard to replace my 85 Grey Wolf, but this is really well done.
Yes a very nice rifle, I looked at one today.
Would have liked to see it come with a single set trigger like my 85 VLS.
Maybe that will be a future option.
For that sort of money itd need to be printing groups that look like a five leaf clover. Each and every.
Good luck getting ANY rifle to do that with factory ammo. Anything that will shoot under ¾" with factory is not going too bad.
gorgeous gun and in one of my favourite calibres too! what could be better?
what a great rifle but youtube are just pathetic, one of the best looking bolt rifle I have seen and understand the expense even with a great scope
Beautiful rifle alright....
Nice!
You should start reloading. That would be a great series.
I remember him saying that he used to at some point but found it took too much time with working the farm.
S@b I'm stunned it's on a par with ppu, shame you didn't have Hornady that would cost $75/20 rip off
Nice review that shows a quality built rifle. Weird that there isnt even one downside to it though, was waiting for you to find something. Being a varmint it could have a lighter trigger weight preset, then I guess you could get the set option.
Also no real explanation as to why first 3 groups had a flyer and then the 4th redo. Then the very last one didn't, has to be a reason or it's a downside.
Great vid and well done on a fantastic channel 👍
I think it just took a few mags to settle in and I would have liked more ammo selection to test but it’s a good result for the s&b which normally doesn’t perform the best
@@ozziereviews absolutely, shows you don't need to feed it high grade ammo for it to perform. Hard for us viewers to know from vids how many rounds has been through it. Could be a handy bit of info to include for reference on this sort of situation. You may of said it and I missed it but.
Nice review, as always! I suspect that you would get better consistency if you tried a greater variety of factory ammo to find some your rifle really likes, or reloaded and carefully worked up your loads; frankly, some manufacturers produce better quality/more consistent ammo than others and cost isn't always a predictor of consistency. Lots of manufacturers "guarantee" rifles with 1 MOA accuracy out of the box, but, in my experience, that is usually very ammo-dependent, especially as most traditionally constructed hunting bullets (as opposed to things like the Berger VLD hunting bullets etc.) are not designed for pinpoint accuracy, but rather with terminal ballistics in mind and capable of "good enough" accuracy to get the job done. Match bullets are a different breed...
"rifle settling in" - did you re-torque the receiver screws before taking it out? You can't trust the groups until you know the action is torqued down correctly, and from the factory, they often aren't. My 85 22-250 shoots the Sako Gameheads into half an inch, and handloads into one hole. It'll hit a 4 inch gong at 400yds all day long.
I have the 75 with a set trigger that looks just li,e that i bought new for 1200 U.S. i can't believe they more then double wow.
If I was paying more than $3K for a rifle Id be wanting 1/2 inch groups esp with quality ammo like Sako
Ozzie, review the tacsoras. Thanks
still love ADI stuff in my tikka, but not much stuff on market right now. Weird aye 😢
Subscription all good , I think I asked for a 22-250 review
A few have asked 🤠
I noticed on the bench you were slowly being pushed back a little with each shot?
What's the average barrel life in rounds with a 22/250 before it needs re-barrelling
Great review and love watching you put these guns through the ringer.
So far I have not seen the Sako 90 yet. But last year I did have a 30-06 in the 85 action. But I was one of those who experienced an ejection issue and even though I changed the spring on the extractor claw nothing helped so I got rid of it. I live and hunt in western Canada where we have a good grizzly population so I needed a gun that functions perfectly.
Loved the action, accuracy and smooth bolt operation etc but when a fired case gets hung up in the action that is not good enough for me at the price point these guns are at. It is Jan 1 2024 and I’ve yet to see a 90 in a 270 or 30-06 etc. Only short action and 7mm Rem/300 WM. But they come in at 8.2lbs. Too heavy. Can’t understand why Sako didn’t put the 90 in a Finnlight model?
Gday I know how you can fix the extraction issues
@@ashtonjanke3860 nice. But I sold it.
@@ashtonjanke3860 ... Can you tel us how ?
Thanks
Hi ozzie any chance on a review of the sako 100 in the near future?
Possibly 👍
Now! That's a bauitful rifle 😮😅😊
Is there a 1:8 twist option for 243
Subscribed and Bell on 👍
Thank you mate 👍
@@ozziereviews cheers 🍻 mate from NSW
Hey mate, are you planning on doing a review on the Templeton t2000?
Hopefully if I can get a hold of one
I’m a varmint shooter and currently have two .17 hornets and a .224 Valkyrie. I’m considering adding this rifle to my inventory. Is there much of an issue with recoil and keeping targets on site picture? Also, if you put a suppressor on this rifle, how would you compare the decibels to the 223 in 55gr? I appreciate your reply.
just wondering, last shot flyer, maybe barrel heated up? first shot flyer, clean bore or cold bore flyer? i do have issues with first shot, fouled bore though, with my varmint tikka 223. It rarely means a miss at 100M, but it is noticeable when checking zero. the flyers you had were all first or last shots, other than that, pretty bloody nice groups.
I always fire a shot off camera first then shoot the groups and let it fill in between with the first shot off camera again to avoid any of that
@@ozziereviews by the end of the video, my thoughts had changed. i guess reloading is the answer. rifle shot pretty good for factory ammo though. nice shooting out to 200.
Just wondering, can you shoot collector weapons
The magazine has too much extra lenght in front of the cartridge. It may affect how the cartridge is chambered. The bullet may change its position and affect accuracy negatively. Sorry for my english. This is not my mother tongue.
Na, its just crap quality control from SAKO.. they should just make it in 308 and nothing else, like everyone else today as they cant make anything but 308 or 223 any more. its sad.
Exactly the same as in the 85....my 85 VLS 22-250 has always reliably fed rounds from the mag with no hang-ups, even after 800 rounds.
Big question, if you could only choose 1. Sako or Lithgow?
Well for me, I’d prefer a lighter weight hunting rifle which sako offers and Lithgow doesn’t unfortunately
They make a nice rifle i have 3 of them only problem with them is they have a terrible bedding system including the 90 series if they fixed that to somthing like tikka it would make the rifle
Do they plan to make one in .204? My 85 in 204 is a really nice rifle.
They are flat but they are a cannon noise wise. I don't think you can beat the factory forward set trigger of the 85 but still a good looking rifle. My 85 with hornady factory vmax or ADI green tip ammo is more accurate than the one you show but maybe just settling in or likes a different brand.
Yep I would have loved to have had some Hornady ammo at the time but couldn’t get it
Yeah, I love the set trigger on my 85
Mate, as always I enjoy your content. But funny how “UA-cam” hasn’t taken out the commercials in your vids. They love the cake and eat it as well.
Yes they do unfortunately, I just wish they’d just leave me alone 🤷🏼♂️
I bought a savage model 10 22-250 walnut stock on clearance for $400 and it shoots 0.8" my bruh you need to be keen on the steals
Pass slr mate 308 good old days miss that one your missing out lol.😂
Did you hear you correctly? Left and right hand?
I was under the impression that Sako was only right handed
Yes left handed models of the sako 90 are planned I’m told
Left hand 90's are already on the pricelist so should be availabe pretty soon
@@ozziereviews great! I have been always wanting to buy a sako
What kind of muzzle brakes would you use on a rifle like this?
I wouldn’t, for me it’d be for a suppressor if legal in your area
@@ozziereviews righto👍
Definitely don't need a brake on a 22-250.
@@flyingtigers7856 just a fun thought I had is all
@@flyingtigers7856more 308 300 WIN MAG and the Excalibur of Gun Calibre. 50 BMG
I see the bolt handle is off a T3
👍
1 in 14 twist seems very short sighted on Sakos part
What are your thoughts on Tikka to sako?
Both great, buy the tikka if you don’t have the money for sako - simple 👍
@@ozziereviews yeah I run tikka now just been thinking why not buy sako instead for a nice .223
They have taken the bell down
Sako 75 in 22-250 AI with 26” barrel 73gr @ 3,600 fps
Beautiful.
Can I have it?
@@glennllewellyn7369 LOL my son has the same model Sako rifle in 6mm CM both guns with new barrels and original stocks refurbished. He has 24” barrel with 1-7.5 twist using 103 gr ELD-X Hornady projectiles
do you tube ban comments that refer to load components that work on a specific chambering you reviewed or is that your personal policy to filter comments? just that any comments i have made dont seem to appear??
Nothing like looking at gun porn. Have the Winchester lightweight A frame in this calibre. Love it's balance for field use. Not to the same quality as the Sako but it'll do.
they wont let get your me get your notifications!
Yup I’m not making it up when I say they are trying to silence me, everyone has to check their subscription and enable the bell icon 👍
I have a collection of 5 SAKO 245 and 3 or 4 SAKO 222
You could top load older 75 model.
And when it comes to sellier bellot their ammo is pretty much hit or miss depending
did you get good or shitty box from loaded patch. Couple boxes shot 2cm group at 100 meters
from old 75 30-06. But then lates box made me wonder how it is even possible to have
5-10cm group shot from same rifle and same shooter.
Luckily had couple rounds left from old box which confirmed ammo issue.
Buddy also had similiar problems with his winchester .308 groups were unacceptable
when sako range from same rifle did less than 2cm group.,
So for some time i have used their ammo just for pistol and AR when shooting
steel. They have higher end match quality ammo line but those are so much
more expensive that it is pretty much same to buy lapua stuff instead.
Yeah I was surprised with the result to be honest
I saw several Sako90's today in the flesh, can't understand why they retired the 85 series.
Sako have removed their Controlled round feed feature, a whitish alloy looking trigger guard with a trigger adjustment system that looks as if it was pinched off a cz600 series.
Take down bolt shroud which looks borrowed from a cz550 bolt action.
And that tinny looking bolt handle it appears to be a cheaper rifle
Hopefully they have changed the bedding system to the 85 coz its pretty average
Looks like long action even for short cartridge... for 3k..
Nice rifle, shame about the price.
Those flyers are shooter error. Not load or rifle.
Try accuracy again with bech rest quality ammo and good pills like Berger.
Don't expect .3 groups with factory ammo.
I’ve achieved .3” before with factory ammo, I’m just surprised that the sako ammo was hole through hole with their rifle 🤷🏼♂️
The only problem with using match grade ammo it's not usable in the real world. I use cheap nasty hunting ammo in a Tikka 308 and at 100 shoots half inch. No point testing ammo you would never use in a hunting rifle jmo
I don't tend to subscribe so don't shoot me, but will start to subscribe to stick it up em. Im sick and tired of how we are being stripped of our rights and freedom!
I bet 3200 dollars 😅
"Socko"
Nice looking rifle sadly no more accurate than a $900 Howa.😊
that much is true but one could argue that it's a much more reliable rifle and better made than the howa. don't get me wrong, i love the howas, but if i was offered the two, i'd choose the sako.
@@TheKetamineSquid there is nothing wrong with a howa. Its basicly a rem700 system. My 6.5 grendel shot lights out and it was 1/5th the price of this rifle out of the box. Gave me money inbetween for a killer scope. The SAKO goes for like 4500 usd, if i translate the currency from swedish SEK.
@@jmkhenka there's absolutely nothing wrong with howa rifles. i have had one previously and it was remarkably accurate. still, if i had the money, i'd get the sako.
I have had both Howa and Sako. No doubt the Sako was better finished. The Sako is a posers range rifle the Howa is a hunters rifle.😊
I have shot both and from my own personal experience they are worlds apart in regard’s to quality, performance and accuracy.
The F does an Aussie know about guns, these people just started walking upright.
Well for one, we know not to go around shooting up schools every day. For two, when it comes to bolt actions, we probably know more than the average American given we’re generally limited to these actions.
over 3K cant even shoot under inch wow bad !!
1 flyer doesn't really disqualify the group, very minor issue
My 85 22-250 shoots the Sako Gamehead into half inch groups, and handloads into one hole.
@@jbsports3422 all talk mate, unless you've got videos to show us, you're just talking shit
So does a Lithgow or cz under half the price
@@Bush_Tucker congrats, if that's your preference then that's fine, lithgows also weight nearly double and aren't really great for long distance hunting but I'm sure you know it all, seem like the type at least
