Sako Quad .22LR Review and Barrel Change

[zanes]

the only downside is the extraction of unfired rounds.

Sorry, what?

That sounds a pretty serious problem to me- and one that is obviously easily avoidable given that no other rimfires seem to suffer with it.

I don't think it is particularly down to one make or model as my 1417 annie is prone to non extraction of unfire rounds, where as my quad varmint hmr extracts non fired rounds cleanly every time.

Thank you for the review.

I fully concur!! I have both guns Syn Quad .22 and an Anshultz 1417 .22 not any noticeable difference with extraction problems or accuracy all I would say is the action on the quad is a lot smoother than the 1417 the latter being a bit notchy on the bolt

really?
then you havent seen that many .22's then
EVERY Semi auto I have ever seen has extraction and or cycling issues with one or other make of ammo when combined with poor cleaning and or waxy bullets

all the main Bolt action brands are no different:
5 seconds on google!

CZ http://www.shootforum.com/forum/view...p?f=20&t=29681
The CZ has a number of known issues...just sometimes people don't want to talk about them!

I wrote that modification, its a piece of p1ss and is only an issue due to the need for one bolt/extractor to accommodate two rim sizes.....no other brand has that excuse for the issues

I have two quads now and 5 barrels, one synth short and one long barrelled hunter with QR mounts and four cheap scopes, one for each barrel.
Accuracy is better than I will ever be in all calibres, I use the .22LR/WMR and .17M2 regularly, HMR less as the WMR is better

I have also owned Browning, BRNO and CZ in .22 so am comparing first hand
sure there are cheaper, but am not convinced they give anything away to the cheaper rivals
I would say the only thing that lets down the quality image is plastic
My Hunter has DIP bottom metal and bolt handle, and if I could upgrade the shroud that would be metal too!

I would still buy an old finnfire if I had the appetite though!

as an aside that new model in the Youtube clip looks to have a very stiff bolt, neither of mine have anything like as stiff a lift and I have owned them from new

Have no issues at all with my quad hunter with the heavy barrel.

I thought about buying a .22LR Quad with .22WMR and .17HMR barrels but was told it would be a pain as I would need to rezero it when I changed to different calibre barrel
