Sako quad range worth the money?

Recommended Posts

I was lurking around the forum the other day reading about someone looking for a rifle and the name Sako came up. So I inevitably took a look and found their Sako quad range 22lr rifle,which actually has 3 other interchangeable caliber barrels.

So has anyone had hands on or know someone that has hands on? Is it worth the money? I think it is in the 1000 range sans optics. I think the thing is beautiful but is the beauty worth that much? I also like bit because it does not seem big around here from my lurking experience, partly from price I would guess. I like the unique or no one else has it factor.

 

Thank for your help guys.

Sako makes quality stuff without question. Odds are you won't find aftermarket stuff for it because it will be almost perfect out of the box. After sending a few rounds down range from a Sako Tactical, I found myself 'needing' a Sako. I elected to buy a Tikka T3 and kit it out for my personal likings. Smooooth bolt and probably the best factory trigger I've pulled on. Accuracy is as expected. That is a beautiful rifle and for a couple more Franklins, you are getting Sako quality versus the more mass produced products.

 

But, for a rim fire...that is pricey. If they had this in a 308 / 260 Remington / 22-250 I'd be selling blood.

it looks awesome, and Sako is amazing.  I really wish I bought a Sako TRG in .308 when I could and had the money.

 

Sako is the bomb and I suspect though have not shot that the Quad is amazing as well.  It's just .... A LOT OF MONEY.  You could go out and buy a Savage rifle in .22LR, .17 HMR, and .22Mag , and get one of high quality, and put scopes on them all, and probably buy 5 magazines for each, and have money to buy something else before you spent the same on the Quad.

 

 

PLUS, the 4th, what is it, 17 mach 2 or something?  I doubt that is going to get shot all that much.  I ADMIT, from a purely Survival & Preparedness perspective which I am very into, having those calibers is useful but at what price?

 

 

now if you're independently wealthy and can just have whatever you want, I highly recommend it... and in that case, hows about hookin me up too brah?

      The same kit fits both the 9 and 40 frames so I can take it whichever you got it for.

      Sold my GSG-5 22LR with fake suppressor. $300. These are a blast to shoot. Have two mags that have been converted to 10 rounds. Don't shoot it anymore and want to clear up some space on the safe. I live in Bergen county and will meet you in a dealer who you choose. You pay transfer so choose a cheap transfer dealer.

      Anyone has Tkka T1x? How do you like it? Strongly considering it for my next purchase.

      Need help deciding here:
      I'm torn between Ruger mark IV and SW22. Want to buy a universal gun for Bullseye and Steel Challenge, so it has to be bull barrel or similar.
      I like stainless steel Ruger and million aftermarket parts available but I don't like grip angle (22/45 fits better but it's plastic) and the fact that barrel is the firearm. So every time I would think of a new barrel it will have to be a new set permits....
      On the contrary SW22 has less aftermarket support and somewhat strange grip  - the angle is fine though. Plus its cheaper.
      Your opinions? pls?
      thanks in advance.
      P.S. Buck Mark is out - don't even bring it up :). I own Buck Mark, i like the way it shoots but the takedown process can be painful. last time I wanted to clean it i stripped the hex screw and had to go to a gunsmith . Also, little aftermarket options and harder to find parts.

    • Near it.  Now don't argue a few inches of penetration here.  That can vary to the testing conditions using ballistics gel.  But ballistics gel, properly used, gives a consistent standard for evaluation. 45 hardball runs about 30" of penetration.  9mm parabellum fmj runs 24-26". Not much difference.  I have seen 45 fmj hit heavy bone like a hip and not exit.  But the shot stopped the guy.  Made the bad guy fall down.  He dropped his gun in the process and offer no further resistance.  Remember, as good guys we dont shoot to kill we shoot to stop.  If you get the first shot off, miss the bad guy, and he drops his gun and surrenders that is a successful shoot. From the tests I've seen most of the 9mm copper rounds run about the same or a bit more than std fmj.  They get their penetration from their high velocity.  AFAIC I'd just as soon use fmj than pay the premium price copper rounds cost. Remember, once you get an entry and exit wound on the bad guy anything else is wasted and dangerous. There was a shooting by NYPD in the past few years.  IIRC the bad guy was kind of big and was coming after two NYPD officers with a knife.  Both shot him and they found bullets in the bad guys jacket.  Initially it was reported the jacket stopped the Gold Dot the NYPD officers were using.  When the boys (and girls) from forensics got done with their stuff the bullets had  penetrated the bad guy and lodged in the jacket.  Perfect performance of a SD bullet. There was another shooting outside the Empire State Building.  The bad guy wasn't that big. NYPD shot him and there were claims bystanders were hit by the NYPD bullets.  The crew from forensics proved the bystanders were hit by fragments of the NYPD bullets that had penetrated the bad guy.  So much for all the people who claim cops can't shoot. I bring these incidents up because I always wait "for the rest of the story" before making a judgement. I'm not a fan of +P except in 38 special.  I carry factory wadcutters in a j frame. Ive stated my reasons why several times.  However,  if you havent seen them pm me and I'll tell you.  NATO spec pressure falls between SAAMI spec and +P.  +P in 9mm really doesn't get you much more in performance over standard 9mm rounds. I've drifted from your question but felt my answer is applicable. The hollowpoint law in NJ only puts bystanders at risk.
