    Sako have been less than forthcoming on whether they made left-handed models, so I thought I'd put out a call and chance my arm to see whether there are any out there. I'm looking for it in a good stalking calibre. .243, .25-06, .270 and .308 all considered. If you have one you want to sell, or know of one going, please let me know. I'll get a Tikka otherwise (and if anyone knows a lefty one going please post) but I thought I'd check first. All models considered. Thanks,
    Dave

    I'd be very, very interested in that jw, care to let the person know he might have a buyer in the immediate future? What do you think of it as a gun, better than the Tikka?

    How's it for accuracy? T3 is somewhat more expensive. What's the stock like?

    i know noting about the rifle ,any s/h rifle might be shot out or just shot out
    have corrosion or been badly looked after
    you would want to shoot it and put a bore scope down it for a look .
    the tikka is a better bet .
    a goodish 75 will cost you as much if not more than a t3.
    but you might be lucky

    That's fair enough. I'll probably end up going for the Tikka, but if someone points me in the direction of a nice Sako for around the same price, I'd jump on it.
