Unleashing Precision: Sako & Tikka Rifles with Premium Ammunition

When you demand the highest level of accuracy and performance, Sako and Tikka rifles stand out as unparalleled tools for serious marksmen and hunters alike. These rifles are engineered for precision, and when paired with top-tier ammunition—especially Sako’s ammunition—the results are nothing short of exceptional.

Measured to Perfection: Our Accuracy Standards

For us, precision isn’t just a claim — it’s a built-in capability of our products.

The accuracy of our rifles is measured using a rigorous method: firing multiple shots and recording the distance between the outermost bullet holes. For Sako, we use a 5-shot group procedure to measure and verify the rifles accuracy. For Tikka, we have a 3-shot group.

We put our rifles through rigorous testing with our own ammunition, using over a million of our cartridges every year to ensure unmatched performance.

Our Sako TRG precision rifles, when paired with Sako TRG precision ammunition, can deliver down to 0.5 MOA accuracy. This requires that the rifle is properly maintained and is in uncompromised condition.

Sako and Tikka hunting and sport shooting rifles (Sako 100, Sako 90, Sako S20, Tikka T3x), when combined with Sako TRG precision or Powerhead Blade lead-free ammunition, can deliver sub MOA accuracy.

Unlocking Maximum Precision

Achieving top-tier precision isn’t just about the rifle or ammunition; it’s about your own ability to control the whole system. To get the best performance from your Sako or Tikka rifle, we recommend taking a few crucial steps:

Keep your rifle in peak condition: Clean the barrel thoroughly, especially removing copper fouling.
Ensure your rifle’s mechanics are flawless: Verify that the crowning is undamaged, action screws are properly torqued, and the recoil lug is in full contact.
Secure your optics: Proper attachment and torque of scope mounts, as well as the condition of your scope, are essential for consistent accuracy.
Use “first-time feed” ammunition: For best results, use ammo that has never been cycled through the magazine.
Keep training: Practice at the shooting range is never time wasted. Keep perfecting those skills to ensure you get the maximum performance and results in the fields.

Take the Shot

Now, it's time to experience the unmatched accuracy of Sako and Tikka rifles for yourself. When combined with Sako ammunition, you’re not just buying a rifle—you’re unlocking its full potential. Every shot you take could be the perfect one.

Built to Perform, Backed by a Promise

Sako and Tikka rifles are not just about precision—they’re about reliability. Each rifle is backed by our universal accuracy guarantee of sub-1 MOA, with any premium quality ammunition of your choice. Whether you're shooting at extreme distances or perfecting your aim at the range, our rifles are designed to perform.
