I have a Sako Mannlicher in 375.  Best rifle I have owned in 30 years of shooting.  It will cluster a cloverleaf at 100 yards with the right load.  For me that is 70 grs. RL15 with a CCI 250 Primer in a WW case with a Speer 270 grain bullet.  It goes out at a little over 2600 fps.    I also shoot a 235 grain Speer bullet  with IMR 4064 powder - forget the amount - and get 1 1/4 inch groups at 100 yards.  My rifle was heavier than I anticipated but it does help keep recoil down.  The 235 and 270 grain bullets both hit at the same spot on a 100 yard target.

I had to search for a few years to get my rifle.  They will truly pry it from my cold fingers.  I was thinking of getting it diamond coated, but am still deliberating.  Best of luck with yours.

thanks for the information.  I am the same way with this rifle. I owned one a couple of years ago and sold it for my rolex.  Found on like new on gun broker couple of months ago for 850 delivered with one box and ammo  great great deal.

Yes it was - about half price compared to other sales I've seen.
