    Try Brian Duffy in Galway @ www.shoot.ie, I know he sells / stocks Sako items and rifles.

    Jim Griffin in Rahan, The Tackle Shop also has Sako bits & pieces

    a small drop of blue loctite should sort that. not too much now, nobody likes a pigrooter :D

    in fairness, they're a good system. there's nothing as bad as ring marks.

    I,ve got a set of warne tacticals for my T3. They are very user friendly and hold up well too .308 recoil. the only thing is, you would need to install a weaver rail.
