Hi All,
I am from South Africa and regulary hunt in the bushveld area where the brush is quite thick. I must say the Sako 20' barrel is a pleasure to walk and stalk compared to the longer barrels. I found that I had to spend time on the range to get used to the handling of the compact carbine and mine does require a steady hand in the stand up and when quick follow up shots are called for. I would not attemp shots longer than 150 meters but must say most bushveld shots are generally under 100 meter. Great rifle and great caliber.
