Sako 90 Varmint .22-250 Rem 1:14 23.7" Bbl RH Wood Laminate Picatinny Rifle JRS90VARL314/24

Sako's 90 Varmint seamlessly blends flawless long-range precision with a timeless and classic design. The rifle's stock, crafted from laminated birch, is exceptionally stiff and rigid, ensuring stability and consistency in performance. The incorporation of a Monte Carlo cheek piece facilitates proper alignment between the shooter's eye and a mounted optic, while the optimized pistol grip geometry promotes ideal hand placement and shooting ergonomics.

Designed for enhanced stability, the forend of the Sako 90 Varmint Rifle is widened, catering to shooters employing benchrest or prone positions. A standard rubber butt pad mitigates recoil, contributing to a more comfortable shooting experience. The rifle is equipped with Sako's multi-select trigger mechanism, allowing the shooter to choose from five different pull weight settings without the need for disassembly. This feature provides a consistent method for learning trigger control, ultimately optimizing accuracy. Additionally, the trigger blade position is adjustable, ensuring the best shooting ergonomics for hands of any size.

Receiver:
Like all of the rifles in Sako’s 90 series, the Varmint is built around the 90 Receiver. As the heart of the rifle, these receivers are designed using a unique broaching method to minimize the contact area between the bolt and receiver. The is made possible by creating an internal surface that matches the profile of the bolt locking lugs. To achieve this, the steel of the receiver is carved by pushing multiple bolt-shaped cutting tools through the receiver to create a straight interior surface. The result of this manufacturing process is one of the smoothest operating bolts available – an essential feature when fast repeated shots are required. The 90 receiver has also been reinforced from previous models to easily withstand heavy recoil and promote superior accuracy. Torsional bending and twisting have been minimized by designing the specific shapes for critical areas, and flat receiver bedding provides better repeatable accuracy than a conventional round receiver design. Furthermore, the 90 Varmint’s receiver features integrated picatinny rail sections for virtually unlimited optics-mounting options.

Bolt:
The innovative design and construction of the receiver is perfectly complemented by the bolt. The bolt’s ultra-short throw goes hand in hand with the smooth operation, making follow up shots nearly instantaneous. To ensure reliability extraction, the bolt features a dual plunger design similar to the one found on Sako’s sniper rifles. This bolt design is ideal for dangerous game, and was verified by cycling the bolt over 5 million times without any malfunctions.

Barrel:
All Sako 90 rifles are equipped with a cold hammer forged barrel. Like the receiver’s manufacturing process, Sako’s cold hammer forging process results in a smoother surface when compared to other rifling methods. Because the steel cannot escape when hitting against the mandril, it creates a smooth, straight, and uniform surface, enabling out-of-the-box-accuracy and completely eliminates the needed for a break-in process. These match-grade barrels also utilize an innovative muzzle-crowning process to enable the pressure to escape the muzzle evenly, thus improving accuracy. Crowns are protected from external hits by a recessed shape, and absolute geometrical uniformity of the crown is mandatory for accurate operation of the rifle. The 90 Varmint’s barrel in particular features fluting to help dissipate heat generated from multiple shots. The muzzle is also threaded 5/8x24 for accessories.
