The Quad is an excellent rifle. I much prefer the sporter or varmint version to the Range, but that’s a personal preference, no more. It is likely to be quite accurate, but no guarantees with an individual rifle. Of course the Quad offers convenient barrel change ability— for another Quad barrel of the same or different caliber. And the excellent Lilja barrels are another good option. I doubt you would be disappointed.

 

Thank you DBR65.

Never even thought about after market barrels.

 

Dear Max Owner, I heard, or rumor, that Sako was going to re-release the Sako Quads , but with all the barrels, such as the 22 magnum, 17 hmr, 17m2, and 22 long rifle. The only problem when, and if a rumor.

Good Day Max owner, if have had the Sako Quad Range with two barrels ( 22lr and 17 HMR) - both are heavy barrel
The Quad Range does come with the Set Trigger which is very nice- I shoot benchrest from front rest and rear bag.
I did use a single shot delrin adapter/magazine insert as well as a 3 inch wide front bag rider made to slide into the frond channel . I did ride the bag well.
What is you r intended use?

Thanx guys.

One shop up here in Canada has a pre order going. One shop has a new one in stock in 17HMR.

I’m just a getting to be a serious target shooter. We are getting a 2,000 meter range up here, so hope to stretch some rimfires out to 1100 meters like the internet says it can be done. Will be fun or frustrating….

 

At 1,100 meters, just think of your .22 as a little mortar, as you will be lobbing them to the target. 😁

I had my Quad Range out for a shooting session a couple days ago. I had the 17 HMR barrel mounted and wanted to sight in the scope and check a few different weight and bullet combinations. I will cover that effort in another thread, but can certainly add its a Minute of Gopher shooter for sure. This one has the set trigger which I really ❤.

The magazines gets hidden away in the “Range” stock and a bit challenging to insert and release, but workable after a little use. If target shooting off the bench, manually loading each round works well for me. I have both 5 & 10 round mags for both the 22LR & 17 HMR calibers.

Barrel changes are simple by design, but you need adequate clearance between the scope and barrel as the barrel tips up to remove and or insert. I prefer to mount my scopes close as possible to the barrel thus I need to remove the scope to change barrels.

Both of my barrels shoot well - the 17 HMR more than adequate for small critters ( target or live ) and the 22LR does well off the bench with good quality match ammo. I have extraction issues with the 22 LR barrel so will probably leave the 17 HMR barrel on and just be content to shoot critter targets at various ranges off the bench.

At the time - it was the most expensive rimfire I’d ever purchased... But a pre-owned Anschutz 54.18 and falling into the CZ 🐇🕳 have the 22 bench work covered. Overall I like the Sako Quad Range, its a quality product, service is at the low end in the US based on my experience. Some parts are carried by US based firms but expensive ( a new extractor and mags in my case ).

I like the laminated stock - it's solid and adjustable. Name on the side doesn't bother me - I can't even see it when shooting. . Others can see what your shooting - no interruption to ask what your shooting.

Enjoy the process of research and decision.

Thank you rjferber.

 

I have owned a Quad Range for 10 years. It came with a 17HMR barrel and I was able to find factory HM2 and 22WMR barrels. They shot very well with occasional flyers because of non-match grade ammo. I did purchase a Lija 22LR barrel, but found it lacking in accuracy, so still searching for a heavy 22LR factory barrel. I find the stock on the range awkward for benchrest shooting.

 

GRS makes a laminated stock for the Sako.

 

I forgot to ask about scope rings. Looks like a dove tail type setup?

Seen a video where someone had a rail attached to the rifle…

 

The Quad has an 11 mm dovetail/rail as an integral part of the receiver. You can use any scope rings set up to be mounted on an 11 mm rail. Doing so gives you total versatility as to where to place the scope rings to accommodate whatever scope tube you have and/or where you need the scope for proper eye relief. I would suggest the Warne 7.3/22 scope rings. An attached Picatinny rail offers similar flexibility (and with Weaver-style rings, like the excellent Burris ZEEs), but adds weight and also adds another opportunity for receiver/barrel misalignment.

Thanx Wadvocat.

 

Thank you Doug for the reply.

 

Hi, guys!
Isn't there a company who makes bolt action parts to screw onto a Sako bolt handle? Plus, I thought they make parts for other rimfire rifles, also? Can't think of the name...!
Thanks!
