Sako 75

Notes: This rifle, introduced in 1997, was originally available in 5 action lengths (with varying barrel lengths depending upon the Action), but Action II (the lengths range from the short Action I to the very long Action V) was dropped in 1999, and I have no information on that action length. However, in 2002, another action length, the Action SM was added, firing short magnum rounds exclusively. There are a number of variants of the Sako 75 (apart from the action lengths), including the Hunter (the basic rifle), the Hunter Lefthand (available in Action IV only, but otherwise identical to the Hunter for game purposes), the Hunter Laminated Stainless (using a laminated gray wood stock and stainless steel metalwork), the Deluxe (high-grade walnut stock which is oiled, polished, and lacquered, an engraved floorplate for the magazine, but otherwise identical to the Hunter for game purposes), the Finnlight (available only in Actions III-V, but much lighter than the standard rifle), the Synthetic Stainless (with a black synthetic stock, stainless steel metalwork, and a green pistol grip wrist and fore-end using soft-touch padded material), the Varmint (Actions I and III only, but with a heavy barrel and Monte Carlo high-grade walnut stock), and the Varmint Laminated Stainless (with a laminated stock, stainless steel metalwork, and somewhat heavier than the Varmint). All of these rifles have walnut stocks (except the Synthetic Stainless), most have checkered pistol grip wrists and fore-ends, and they all have free-floating barrels. The action lengths are not presented separately below; instead, the cartridges the variant may fire are presented together. They are all close enough in weight that they shoot the same, and there are not different lines in the second table below (except for the Finnlight and the Varmint models). The different models also fire different mixes of rounds, and in some cases are made of different materials, therefore they have different entries in the first table below.

In 2005, Sako introduced the 80th Anniversary Sako 75 Safari. Only 80 are to be built, and each comes with a letter of authenticity. The only chambering is .375 H&H Magnum. In addition to the standard Sako 75 action, the 80th Anniversary version has a controlled feed mechanism for extra reliability. The magazine of this model is fixed, but there is a hinged floorplate for loading, and this floorplate has a special emblem on it denoting its special edition status. The trigger is single-stage, but has a light pull, and is adjustable from 2-4 pounds. The stock is of high-grade oil-finished walnut root with an ebony endcap for the fore-end and a recoil pad for the butt. The 80th Anniversary has special adjustable iron sights; in addition, there is a Weaver-style scope base above the receiver. This special edition comes with a Swarovski PVI 1.25-4x24 scope; this scope is affixed to the Weaver rail with special quick-release locks. The barrel is heavy and cold-forged.

It should be noted that the following chamberings are no longer offered by Sako: .17 Remington, .22 PPC, 6mm PPC, 7x64mm Brenneke, 7mm STW, 7mm Remington UltraMag, or any of the Weatherby Magnums. I have not been able to finds out when these rounds were dropped.

Twilight 2000 Notes: These rifles do not exist in the Twilight 2000 timeline.
