The next generation rifle from Sako is here. The S20 is a feature-rich modular rifle that can grow with you, as you switch from Hunting to Precision Shooting and back. The S20 Hunter features a unique design that offers lightweight, but great rigidity due to its internal aluminum skeleton. Offering an adjustable cheek piece and soft-touch pistol grip coupled with a trigger that can be adjusted on the front and back by a total of 7mm, the hunter will feel in perfect symmetry with the S20. The replaceable forend of the Hunter repeats the soft-touch material for optimum contact and has QD mounts on both sides to match the stock. The new receiver has a full-length bedding design for ultimate stability and reliability and houses a brand-new stainless steel, 3 lug bolt with over 75mm of contact area for the most engagement and safety. Another new feature is the picatinny rail machined into the top of the receiver, meaning more rigidity for the user. Engaging the safety on the S20 brings up a firing pin block, giving the user peace of mind in even the most rigorous conditions. The barrel of the S20 is a stainless-steel fluted design with a Cerakote finish for durability and great looks. The barrel incorporates a 5/8 x 24 Threaded crown with an included protection cap.

The 270 Winchester was introduced in 1925 in the Winchester Model 54 bolt-action, forerunner to the Model 70. Based on the 30-06 case necked down, it was the first production cartridge to use a .277-inch bullet. Why this bullet diameter was chosen is not clear. The intent, however, was to create a cartridge that shot flatter than the 30-06 and produced less recoil. This effort was so successful that the 270 Winchester remains the world's most popular 270 cartridge...and since 1925 only three other commercial cartridges have used this bullet diameter. With a 130-grain bullet at 3060 feet per second and a 150-grain bullet at 2950 the 270 is powerful and flat shooting. It is adequate for game up to elk, ideal for virtually all American deer hunting, and, as it's long-time champion, gunwriter Jack O'Connor, so often wrote, it is a marvelous choice for mountain hunting. It is a standard chambering for almost all rifle makers, and choices in factory loads run into the many dozens. — Craig Boddington
