SAKO 90 PEAK - THE RIFLE FOR MOUNTAIN HUNTER The Sako 90 Peak is one of the lightest bolt action rifles in the market, built on renewed Carbonlight platform. It is designed for ultimate outdoorsman, who is looking for the perfect tool for a mountain hunt of a lifetime.

THE ULTIMATE TURN-BOLT ACTION RIFLE FOR HIGH ALTITUDES This ultra-light hunting rifle features a carbon fiber stock with texturized surface, a right-hand palm swell and a cheek support. With an approximate weight of 2,6 kg, the Sako 90 Peak with S-action is exceptionally comfortable to carry, even on long treks. You can also pick a left-handed option and different action lengths, including M-action. The SAKO 90 Peak is the ultimate rifle for mountain hunters.

Key Features:

OBUST & LIGHT SAKO CARBON FIBRE STOCK
Offers users the choice of five different weight-of-pull settings without disassembling the rifle. The trigger blade position is also adjustable.

THE SAKO COLD HAMMER FORGED BARREL
Cold hammer forged (CHF) barrels provide out-of-the-box accuracy that lasts longer. All Sako 90 rifles feature match-grade cold hammer forged barrels.

THE LEGENDARY SAKO BOLT ACTION EXPERIENCE WITH PICATINNY RECEIVER
The most reliable, field-tested and proven bolt in the market - to ensure maximum safety and robust push-feed operation. The Picatinny receiver offers a machined-in Picatinny interface for flexible optics mounting and repeatable accuracy.

THE MULTI-ADJUSTABLE SAKO 90 TRIGGER MECHANISM
Offers users the choice of five different weight-of-pull settings without disassembling the rifle. The trigger blade position is also adjustable.

TEXTURIZED SURFACE GUARANTEES A PERFECT GRIP IN ALL CONDITIONS
Bare carbon fiber is slippery, which is not ideal when conditions get wet. The Sako 90 Peak stock has an all-over texturized coating that offers a perfect grip in any condition and situation.

COMFORTABLE SHOOTING WITH CAREFULLY THOUGHT-OUT ERGONOMIC DESIGN AND MUZZLE BRAKE
The simplified design of the Peak stock offers a comfortable shooting posture that places the hand in a natural position on the pistol grip and the slightly raised cheek support enables the correct level for your eye. As light as the rifle is, even the heaviest calibers are managed thanks to the recoil-absorbing properties of the RTM carbon fiber and inclusive radial muzzle brake.

DURABILITY THROUGH MATERIAL AND COATING SOLUTIONS
On a long mountain hunt, weather often changes from bad to worse. Therefore, it is important that you can trust your rifle whenever an opportunity presents itself. The Sako 90 Peak incorporates carefully thought-out solutions for durability. The barreled action is manufactured from easy-care stainless steel and even the visible carbon fiber in the stock has been UV-protected.

308 Winchester:

The .308 Winchester (pronounced: "three-oh-eight" or "three-aught-eight") is a rimless, bottlenecked, rifle cartridge and is the commercial cartridge from which the 7.62x51mm NATO round was derived. The .308 Winchester was introduced in 1952, two years prior to the NATO adoption of the 7.62x51mm NATO T65. Winchester branded the cartridge and introduced it to the commercial hunting market as the .308 Winchester. Winchester's Model 70 and Model 88 rifles were subsequently chambered for the new cartridge. Since then, the .308 Winchester has become the most popular short-action, big-game hunting cartridge worldwide. It is also commonly used for civilian target shooting, military sniping, and police sharpshooting. The relatively short case makes the .308 Winchester especially well-adapted for short-action rifles. When loaded with a bullet that expands, tumbles, or fragments in tissue, this cartridge is capable of high terminal performance.

Although very similar to the military 7.62x51mm NATO specifications, the .308 cartridge is not identical, and there are special considerations that may apply when mixing these cartridges with 7.62x51mm NATO, and .308 Winchester chambered arms. Their interchange is, however, considered safe by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers Institute (SAAMI).

Suggested Use:

Predators
Small Game
Varmint
Deer
Black Bear
Moose (short range)
Elk (short range)

Performance:

The .308 Winchester is one of the most popular hunting cartridges in the United States, and possibly the world. It has gained popularity in many countries as an exceptional cartridge for game in the medium- to large-sized class. In North America it is used extensively on whitetail deer, pronghorn and even the occasional caribou or black bear.

Clay Harvey, an American gun writer, says it is usable on moose and elk. Layne Simpson, an American who has hunted in Sweden, says he is surprised how many hunters there use the cartridge. Craig Boddington was told by a Norma Precision executive that the .308 is one of Norma's best-selling calibers.

In Africa the .308 Win is one of the most popular calibers among Bushveld hunters and is used on anything from duiker right up to the massive eland (a small and large African antelope respectively). Proponents of the hydrostatic shock theory contend that the .308 Winchester has sufficient energy to impart hydrostatic shock to living targets when rapidly expanding bullets deliver a high rate of energy transfer.

The .308 Winchester has slightly more drop at long range than the .30-06 Springfield, owing to its slightly lower (100 ft/s) muzzle velocity with most bullet weights. Cartridges with significantly higher muzzle velocities, such as the .300 Winchester Magnum can have significantly less drop at long range.
