Sako 's Finnish engineers wanted to make the new Sako S20 a revolution in the field of big game rifles. Starting from an aerospace aluminum chassis, the Sako S20 allows the exchange of stocks, barrels, and a multitude of accessories, as well as the adjustment of the trigger, cheek pieces, and butt plates to make each S20 a rifle tailored to the hunter.
The S20 Chassis is the heart and soul of the new Sako system, starting from a block of aerospace aluminum, the latest generation numerical control machines create this ultra-light and extremely resistant aluminum chassis that is the perfect bed for the rest of the components of the rifle. The V-chassis barrel bed is part of what ensures its Sub-MOA accuracy.
The black anodized finish makes it invulnerable to the attacks of time and protects it from scratches, etc.
The barrels of the Sako rifles, especially the S20, are created from the highest quality steel bars and cold hammered with the CHF process. The cold hammering of the barrels guarantees the highest precision, great durability and resistance since cold hammering changes the structure of the steel to make it much more resistant. The barrels of the Sako S20 rifle have a lifetime Sub MOA grouping guarantee.
At Sako they test each rifle by hand under the inspection of the most experienced eyes and test the barrels one by one for accuracy.
The configuration of the stock is very simple, starting from the base of the pistol grip or Thumbhole stock we can adjust both the height of the adjustable spine and the length and height of the butt plate so that the Sako S20 fully adjusts to our needs.
Both the Thumbhole hunting stock and the precision stock are adjustable in height of the cheek piece and butt plate. The precision stock can fit a shooting monopod under the butt plate. The pistol of the hunting Thumbhole stock can be changed and has a rough finish that is very pleasant to the touch. The stock material of the S20 is completely new, it has an exceptional grip and a touch very similar to leather. The siujection is optimal in any hunting situation, even in conditions of heavy rain, snow or extreme cold.
The action of the rifle is totally new, in the Receiver of the rifle itself the Picatinny rail is carved with the latest generation machines, which makes the mount extremely reliable, completely eliminating the possibility of the mount bases moving.
The Receiver is anchored to the aluminum chassis by a 3-point system that guarantees its total fixation and a perfect fit so as not to compromise precision.
The V-shaped bed makes contact of the S20 chassis with the action of the rifle incredibly precise throughout its entire length, which in the end translates into extraordinary precision by dissipating the vibrations that are transmitted in the shot.
The bolt is made of one piece of stainless steel and has 3 locking lugs with the barrel. It is a very smooth bolt design that runs through the action without drag and closes completely smoothly. The bolt ball is interchangeable.
The new two-stage trigger of the Sako S20 is adjustable both in length and distance to the finger, as well as in weight. With an allen key you can adjust the distance of the trigger up to 4mm forward or 3mm back so that the finger is correctly positioned on the trigger. The trigger weight is also adjustable from 1 to 2 kg.
The trigger body is made of light and resistant aluminum and the finger support is oversized so that the sensation when pulling the trigger is greater, facilitating precision in very long shots.
The insurance is also improved so that once the shot is placed it is impossible.
