Sako 75 The Sako 75 wasn’t the first rifle produced by the century-old Finnish arms maker, but it was one of the most popular. Released to commemorate the company’s 75th anniversary, the rifle was one of the first on the market to use three locking lugs on the bolt and a detachable box magazine. Chambered in everything from .222 to .416, 75s were known as one of the premium hunting rifle brands. To me, the Sako 75 epitomizes the pre-synthetic stock sporting rifle and remains a favorite of many. The examples that I’ve seen were well-finished with gorgeous wood.
