Also known as: S20 Precision
Overview
The Sako S20 Precision is a modern modular bolt-action rifle from Finland's legendary Sako firearms manufacturer, designed to bridge the gap between hunting and precision competition shooting. Featuring Sako's cold hammer-forged barrel in a medium-heavy match contour with 20mm outer diameter and 5/8-24 UNEF threaded muzzle, the S20 Precision delivers exceptional accuracy from a remarkably lightweight platform at just 3.3 kg. The rifle's defining feature is its modular architecture: the receiver, barrel, stock, and forend can all be quickly swapped or reconfigured without specialized tools, allowing shooters to adapt the rifle to different disciplines. The adjustable trigger offers a pull weight range of 1-2 kg, and the aluminum chassis stock with polymer furniture provides a rigid, repeatable platform with adjustable cheek piece and buttpad. The M-LOK forend accepts accessories while maintaining a clean, snag-free profile.

Background
The S20 marked a bold departure for Sako, a company with over a century of traditional bolt-action rifle craftsmanship. By embracing modularity and modern chassis design while retaining their renowned cold hammer-forged barrel quality, Sako created a rifle that appeals to both competition precision shooters and hunters seeking a single adaptable platform.
