SAKO
QUAD
Anyone who can learn to speak Finnish must be pretty
clever, so it should be no surprise that it was
the people at Sako who came up with the idea
of a rimfire rifle with interchangeable barrels.
The gun comes in .22 LR, .22 WMR, .17 HMR, or
.17 Mach 2, or you can get all four as a set.
Swapping barrels is a cinch even for the mechanically
disadvantaged: Turn a key wrench to loosen a
set screw that holds the barrel in place; pull
out the old barrel; push in the new one; retighten
the screw. I figured it out without even reading
the directions.
The Quad is a racy-looking
synthetic-stocked rifle with an excellent trigger,
50-degree bolt lift (which was quite stiff on
the one I tried, but it was brand-new), and color-coded
barrels so you can tell one caliber from another.
Accuracy is outstanding. Quads are expected to
turn in ¾-inch
groups at 100 yards at the factory.
Ah, you say, but
what about rezeroing every time you switch barrels?
Even that has been taken care of. Burris makes
a 3X–9X scope called (what
else?) the Quad with four resettable dials that
are color-coded to match the barrels. Simply turn
the dial, and you’re there.
