Design and Build

The SAKO 90 HUNTER 22″ (.243 WIN) embodies traditional hunting rifle design with modern manufacturing practices. Sako’s bolt action and trigger are notable for short lock time and smooth operation—attributes that support tighter groups in real-world shooting. The cold hammer-forged barrel provides a durable bore and consistent harmonics shot after shot. A blued finish protects metal surfaces while keeping the classic look hunters expect.

Ballistics and Caliber

Chambered in .243 Winchester, this rifle offers a versatile balance of flat trajectory and manageable recoil. The .243 is an excellent choice for medium game and longer-range varmint work, delivering effective energy without the heavy recoil of larger calibers. The 22-inch barrel on this model helps optimize velocity while keeping the rifle handy in brush and on mountain stalks. A single 5-round magazine is included, suitable for typical hunting scenarios.
