Check with Sako in Finland directly. Most probably pre-Beretta era and those are rugged, well build and very accurate rifles – like the 595 series.

A great gun and probably a great cal for your intented use.

You can´t go wrong with a GRS. Pillar/glass bed it and Voila´.. 8)

All of the above. And one fact can´t be enough stressed : The barrel needs to have ample swinging space = room to free float or you´ll never get it to shoot consistent. The norm “a Dollar bill between the stock/barrel” doesn´t cut it. You need to be able to , at least , draw a business card all the way.

To answer the original question : Yes , it is Super 🙂
The differences are the ones already pointed out : Adjustable cheek piece and all Stainless. I find them SS barrels easier to Clean for some reason. That alone is “Super” 😉 -
Check the Possum Hollow 😉
Great guides and great people. -
One more suggestion is that you also do an backwards angeled model. Very popular here – especially amongs Wild Boar , Moose and Bear hunters since they allow a very fast follow-up shot by just using your index finger. And good for those with small girlie hands as well.
Something like this: -
Well 100 rnds of Lapua .223 69 gr scenar-L arrived and I shot 30+ rounds at 97 and 197 yds and I will say that if I had the budget I would buy 1k of this ammo! 3/4 in at 197 Yds ( our range has been “fixed” to deal with imaginary concerns which shortened shooting lanes by 3 yards). If you have the coin and like Lapua brass, you should buy this ammo! I look forward to trying to Match it with my reloads!
My only concern is that it is not as fast as I would try for on my handloads.
Great tip SirVille!!
It´s a Finn thing ! 😉
A Finnish Rifle likes Finnish ammo ;D ;D
Grafs still has it on sale.

“Bix'n Andy trigger” if don't have a budget…best trigger money can buy.
+1 !!
That said i have the factory set-trigger on my .223 SV. At the “set-stage” the weight is far under 10 oz though.
The B&A is a thing of Beauty and a real engineering marvel. -
Just for the sake of it i changed the trigger spring to get a lighter pull at its “non-set” stage. Nice! Now the bugger feels like my Quads (same trigger unit) and when set it´s a thing of Beauty – for target shooting.
I´ve also found the cartridge this rifle loves : Lapua OTM Scenar L 69gr ! One holers all day long – and i mean ONE holers. A five shot Group at 100meters is just an oval,elongated hole. I´ll start hand loading/re-loading and will try the Berger VLCD 70 gr bullets in Lapua and Norma brass. I also have approx 400 rds of Norma Match with 77gr Sierra MK and those shoot superbly too. Life´s good ! 😉

I just tried a carbon fiber, titanium bolt handle on my T3 light today and it's very nice! It is difficult to close the hard case on it though- I take the bolt out and no problems.
Lumley Arms ?? I´m a bit curious about that one. Could look nice on my Super Varmint ..

Thankfully i´m 100% Finnish 🙂 🙂
Lived here since 1992 though.

A good choice of a stock! Mine came from the very first batch (all 3 of them ) and the fit was so-so. I had to do some grinding and i did bed in the bugger too but the stock is brilliant now. GRS has since worked the bugs out of it. The first batch had some (minor) fitment issues though.
You know if (not likely in your case since you´re from US and you guys never got the first ones) yours is “bugged” by bolting it on and if the barrel isn´t located dead center in the barrel channel (rests on the left side), the load handle bottoms on the stock before it rests in its “natural” position and if the fit isn´t stress-free where the action sits. -
Penetrating Power ? I remember this old porn Movie made after “The Terminator”. It was ,tastefully, called “The Penetrator”. ” Lay down on the stairs and i´ll penetrate you” – of course with a thick German accent 🙂 🙂
I actually own a Tikka/Valmet shotgun and it penetrates a whole lot . The real ” Penetrator” .. -
Want to have one of the best , if not THE best (IMHO), muzzle brakes around then take a look of these Kiwi made Quattromax's:http://www.gunsmith.co.nz/muzzlebrakes.html
Brilliant brakes ! And a really,really easy guy to deal with too.
