sako quad

[adamk]

hi i been eyeing up a sako quad 22lr in my local shop and was just wondering if any one could recommend a few upgrade parts.

i would be very intrested in a longer barrel somwhere around 26" but i dont know where to get one also what moderator and scope would suit best for short range rabbit work

26" + Mod, are you going for the field gun look? I've just cut my CZ barrel down to 14" with no loss in performance and accuracy has increased if anything.

 

For a .22RF the best mods IMO are the SAK and SAKO, a 3 - 9 x 40 scope will do the fine for short range rabbit work?

I had my quad cut DOWN to 14", add 4" back on for a sak mod, thats 18"

 

Standard one is 20", add mod(4") there's 24"

 

If you go for a 26" barrel (and i've never heard of one) then stick a sak mod on, you are looking at 30" :o

 

As said, why on earth?

 

Stick a Sak mod on, (very good on a .22) then stick a Nighteater 6x24x56 scope on it, that will also cover you for when you put the .17HMR barrel on, (you will)

I too think why on earth a long barrel? Will not make the rifle anymore accurate, it will hinder you if using it from a truck (if you do) get a short barrel if u can, a half decent variable scope (ideally the best scope you can afford) and get used to it! I regularly shoot bunnies fro 10 - 100 yards, shot literally thousands of rounds with my rimmy!

my quad barrel was reduced to 16" plus mod 26" woud be un-pointable imo

[Bewsher500]

mine is standard length, dont use it in a vehicle so no issue.

 

OP upgrade have a look to the US DM Products or something like that.

I replaced the plastic trigger guard and the plastic bolt handel with CNC anodised guard and a turned metal bolt knob.

 

if I could replace teh crappy plastic bolt shroud with metal I would do that too!

Had my quad cut down as i shoot from the vehicle and noticed no change. About to do teh same to the HMR.

well shooting from ajeep is not a problem because the majority of land i shoot is inaccessible other than on foot. was just wondering about a longer barrel but from the reaction im gonna say its not a good idea. just gonna go with a mod and decent scope and see if i get on with it and if its to long il just have to cut it down

DM80 is a nice mod and much of it fits over barrel. If you do go for one of those contact Dave Mercer direct - it will save you a lot of money!
