I own a Sako A7 Tecomate 300 wsm and I wouldn’t trade it for anything else except maybe for a custom gun like a Christian Arms. I shoot HSM Berger VLD in 168 grain and they are deadly accurate. 4 shots, 1/2″ moa. Everything I shot last year, whitetail, mulie, pigs, javalina, all dropped. For amyone looking, that’s your bullet, inexpensive too, Cabelas has them.

I very much like how Sako A7 rifles shoot (i.e. accuracy) and most features. However, I’ve had continued problem with the magazines on the .300 WM I own. The design of relatively thin steel inside thin synthetic outside allow the side of the mag to flex outward from the pressure of the spring pushing the cartridges up. The result, cartridges pop spontaneously out of the mag both when the mag is just sitting untouch, while pushing the loaded mag into the mag well and when cycling the bolt. Once already Beretta/Sako Support has sent me a replacement, new mag in attempt to fix this. However, the problem persists. I don’t have this problem with the .270 W A7 or with Tikka T3 .300WM and .30-06 all synthetic mags.
I wish Sako would just make either an all synthetic mag, like Tikka T3 or all metal heavier gauge steel to prevent this.

Hey all.

I was hoping to here from Jess about the 270 round. I just purchased an A7 in a 270. It will be available for pick up in a few weeks hopefully. was wondering what you thought worked best? I’ll more than likely going with a 130 or 140 grain.
Thanks…

After 30 years I’ve finally started reloading again and hunting. My six millimeter rifle always treated me well. Now, I’m back. After buying over 7,000 primers, 800 casings, 27 lbs of 4 different powders and all the concentricity equipment that money can buy I was able to shoot over 600 rounds at a target range. Some days I was close but not right on. The next day I would be shooting 7 inches right and 4 inches low. After resighting the gun would shoot somewhat on. The next day it would be shooting right and 8 inches high. This is off of a rifle rest and with ear protectors. Sometimes I would adjust the scope 8 clicks right and the bullet would not even move half an inch. The scope is a new 2×7 scope and cost over $200. Most of you are correct. The scope was defective. I can tell from this experience that nothing is more fustrating than a rifle that will not shoot half way decent. Nothing matters when hunting or target shooting more than accuracy. All the pretty wood and and fancy gun cases and glass lacquer finishes means nothing when your gun doesn’t perform well. I picked up a A7 sako and handled it in the store. It feels good. It looks good. It shoots an extremely tight pattern. It also is affordable to the majority of the public and gives them a chance to have an excellent shooting rifle. Someday I will own one. Besides, many of those who buy and A7 or a Tika, buy them to use and not just to look at.

Just got an A7-300WSM A WEEK AGO. Put 3×10-40SA bushnell [3200 elite] in Burris Weaverstyle rings. Broke in barrel with 10 shots, thats the least amount of shots I have ever used to break in a barrel. That means the barrel was very smooth already. Good thing. Fed cases, RL-19 powder, Hornady 150 gr. SST bullets, CCI250 Primers.
The first 3 shots fired for a group…. 1/2 in. at 100 yd

There’s nothing about the rifle that I don’t like. It is a keeper.
Every Rem., every Winchester, every Ruger that I have ever had needed something done to it to make it. Trigger job, bedding job, freefloat the barrel, something.

The A7 needs nothing but using!
