Hello! I guess some People will kill me...but i got a NIB Sako L461 single shot with heavy Barrel and this "better" Trigger (?)
With some playing and removing of the little preload spring i got the trigger weight down to 200 gramm (7oz). Slow closing bolt required.
Next step is pillar bedding the action with Weicon A Steel Epoxy.
I sold right away the original Sako ammunition which came with the rifle and bought Lapua Russian brass.
Now i measured the freebore with Barts Ultimate Bullets and got a shock...the bullet would be only 2.3mm in the case if it kisses the lands. So my thought would be to cut off the chamber and re-ream the barrel with a .262 Neck , zero freebore reamer from a friend.
Most interesting would be if a original Sako A1 action can withstand the pressures of PPC benchrest loads in Lapua brass. (29,2-30,0 gr N133)
