How about adding a S20 section. I know they not a collector type gun neither is a TRG. And the S20 is a pretty nice rifle platform.

Exactly. I have a Vixen Manlicher, An A1, A 85 Bavarian Carbine and the S20 and really like them all. They all have there followers. The S20 is here to stay even though some might dislike it. Haven't shot it yet as i just finished loading some ammo as 6.5 CM ammo must be made of Unobtainium as you cant find itWhy not?
I feel that we as individual collectors, shooters, hunters or hoarders, should be free to enjoy what Sako has to offer. Be it vintage or modern.
The S 20 is what Sako obviously feels the modern market wants, probably the same objective they had when they produced the earlier 46’s , 579’s or 61’s.
Having a section of its own could be useful ,tho I think much of the rifles design is based on the TRG-s and TRG action.
Should we maybe not be so critical as to what deserves to be part of a collection? Or to be viewed as such?
All folks want, young and old ( for the most ) is useful information.and maybe a little fellowship and camaraderie

I'll bet a reproduction L46 Hornet with a flamed birch stock would sell like hotcakes right now.If we live to be that old, maybe by then the trend will swing around for Retro Reissue Rifles, that look and feel like real wood and steel!
Simply put: No!I doubt the S20 has enough following or sales numbers to warrant it's own section. However, the TRG has had only 96 discussions in it's entire history here so adding the S20 to the TRG section might not be a bad idea.
Weren't you in that Clint Eastwood movie, Gran Torino? The one where he chases the kids off his lawn with a Garand?"You kids get off my lawn!" grumble, grumble, grumble . . . It's taken me twenty-five years to get adjusted to the Model 75 with its three forward lugs to the point that I don't automatically reject it as not being a "real" Sako. I ain't gentled in to the Model 85 yet. Maybe if I live to be 115 I will be able to look at one of them plastic S20 thingamajigs without a sarcastic scoff. I guess by that time the barrel and the bolt will be plastic, too . . . grumble, grumble, bah, humbug . . . and for that matter a cup of coffee should cost a dime. And if you don't get my meaning I'm going to write it all down in a strong letter, put a stamp on it, and mail it straight to you .
Yes, but they photoshopped the Garand into the picture. I was actually holding a double-barreled 12 with rabbit ear hammers in keeping with my philosophy on proper firearms.Weren't you in that Clint Eastwood movie, Gran Torino? The one where he chases the kids off his lawn with a Garand?
Agree.I doubt the S20 has enough following or sales numbers to warrant it's own section. However, the TRG has had only 96 discussions in it's entire history here so adding the S20 to the TRG section might not be a bad idea.
