Sako S20 Hunter Cerakote Fluted

The Sako S20 Hunter is the hunting version of Sako's hybrid S20 platform – a modular bolt action designed so one rifle can be set up for whatever the hunt demands. This Cerakote Fluted model adds a Tungsten Cerakote finish over the metalwork and a fluted barrel, so it shrugs off rain, sweat and scrapes as well as it shoots.

It is offered in 243 Win, 6.5 Creedmoor, 308 Win, 270 Win, 30-06 Springfield, 6.5 PRC, 7mm PRC, 7mm Rem Mag and 300 Win Mag, with 610 mm (24") barrels across the range and 508 mm (20") carbine options in selected calibres. Every barrel is cold hammer forged, fluted and threaded, and the rifle feeds from the double-stack Cartridge+ magazine.

Key Features

• Tungsten Cerakote finish – a hard ceramic coating over the barrel and action resists corrosion, abrasion and glare in wet or dusty country.
• Sako Precision Solution – the action and chassis are built on the TRG platform, giving a rigid, consistent bedding for repeatable accuracy.
• Hybrid modular stock – the takedown design lets you swap rear stocks and fore-ends to set the rifle up for stalking, high-seat or range work.
• Cartridge+ magazine – a double-stack detachable magazine with extra length for long projectiles, protecting tips and feeding smoothly – handy for reloaders.
• Cold hammer forged, fluted barrel – match-grade Sako barrel, fluted to trim weight and add stiffness, with a threaded muzzle for a brake.
• Hunting-focused ergonomics – thumbhole-style grip and palm swell put your hand in a natural, steady position for quick, controlled shots.
• Integral Optilock rail – scope rings clamp straight to the receiver for a solid, return-to-zero mount.
• Accessory ready – QD sling swivels, Arca rail, barricade stop, thumb rest and spacer set are all available to tailor the rifle.

Best For

• Deer – fallow, red and sambar – choose 6.5 Creedmoor or 308 for most deer, stepping up to 270, 30-06, 7mm PRC or 300 Win Mag for sambar and long open-country shots.
• Pigs and goats – the 20" barrels and short-action calibres carry well in timber and on the quad.
• Pest control and foxes – 243 Win and 6.5 Creedmoor give flat trajectories and mild recoil for paddock work.
