Sako A7
Sako A7 is a bolt-action rifle made by SAKO, Sako since 2008, and is meant to fill the gap between premium models such as Sako 85 and the cheaper Tikka T3 model made by the same company. Sako A7 has some technical similarities with both Sako 85 and Tikka T3, but also have some of its own unique design features. The receiver is available in the two action lengths short (denoted S by Sako) and medium/long (denoted M by Sako), and is drilled and tapped for mounting a scope rail or scope bases. The bolt has Push feed and controlled feed, push feed, three locking lugs and a 70 degree Lever, bolt lift. The magazine is double-stack staggered-feed, and can be loaded from the top while it sits in the rifle. The magazine also has a locking lever which Sako calls ''Total Control Latch'' (TCL). The barrel is free floating, and the trigger is a single stage trigger with adjustable pull weight from 500 to 2000 grams. Sako A7 is delivered with either Bluing (steel), blued or Stainless steel, stain ...

Rifle
A rifle is a long gun, long-barreled firearm designed for accurate shooting and higher stopping power, with a gun barrel, barrel that has a helical or spiralling pattern of grooves (rifling) cut into the bore wall. In keeping with their focus on accuracy, rifles are typically designed to be held with both hands and braced firmly against the shooter's shoulder via a buttstock for stability during shooting. Rifles are used in warfare, law enforcement, hunting and shooting sports, target shooting sports. The invention of rifling separated such firearms from the earlier smoothbore weapons (e.g., arquebuses, muskets, and other long guns), greatly elevating their accuracy and general effectiveness. The raised areas of a barrel's rifling are called ''lands''; they make contact with and exert torque on the projectile as it moves down the bore, imparting a spin. When the projectile leaves the barrel, this spin persists and lends gyroscopic stability to the projectile due to conservatio ...

Bolt-action
Bolt action is a type of manual Action (firearms), firearm action that is operated by ''directly'' manipulating the bolt (firearms), turn-bolt via a cocking handle, bolt handle, most commonly placed on the right-hand side of the firearm (as most users are right-handed). The majority of bolt-action firearms are rifles, but there are also some variants of shotguns and handguns that are bolt-action. Bolt action firearms are generally repeating firearms, but many single-shot designs are available particularly in shooting sports where single-shot firearms are mandated, such as most Olympic and International Shooting Sport Federation, ISSF rifle disciplines. From the late 19th century all the way through both World Wars, bolt action rifles were the standard infantry service rifle, service weapons for most of the world's military forces, with the exception of the United States Armed Forces, who used the M1 Garand Semi-automatic rifle. In modern military and law enforcement after ...

Hunting Rifles
Hunting is the Human activity, human practice of seeking, pursuing, capturing, and killing wildlife or feral animals. The most common reasons for humans to hunt are to obtain the animal's body for meat and useful animal products (fur/hide (skin), hide, bone/tusks, horn (anatomy), horn/antler, etc.), for recreation/taxidermy (see trophy hunting), although it may also be done for resourceful reasons such as removing predators dangerous to humans or domestic animals (e.g. wolf hunting), to pest control, eliminate pest (organism), pests and nuisance animals that damage crops/livestock/poultry or zoonosis, spread diseases (see varmint hunting, varminting), for trade/tourism (see safari), or for conservation biology, ecological conservation against overpopulation and invasive species (commonly called a culling#Wildlife, cull). Recreationally hunted species are generally referred to as the ''game (food), game'', and are usually mammals and birds. A person participating in a hunt is a ...

Sako TRG
The Sako TRG (short for Finnish: "", " Precision Rifle G-series") is a bolt-action sniper rifle line designed and manufactured by Finnish firearms manufacturer SAKO of Riihimäki. It is the successor to the SAKO TR-6 target rifle, and thus the letter ''G'' within the rifle's name is meant to represent number 7 (since G is the seventh letter in alphabetical order). The TRG-21 and TRG-22 (A1) are designed to fire standard .308 Winchester (7.62×51mm NATO) sized cartridges, while the TRG-41 and TRG-42 (A1) are designed to fire more powerful and dimensionally larger .300 Winchester Magnum (7.62×67mm) and .338 Lapua Magnum (8.6×70mm) cartridges. They are available with olive drab green, desert tan/coyote brown, dark earth or black stocks, and are also available with a folding stock. The TRG-62 A1 was added to the product range as the third and largest iteration, designed to fire the even more powerful and dimensionally larger .375 CheyTac (9.5×77mm) cartridge. The sniper r ...

Sako 75
The Sako 75 is a bolt-action rifle produced by the Finnish manufacturer Sako from 1996 until it was replaced by its successor, the Sako 85 in 2006, and finally discontinued in 2007. History The Sako 75 was named after the 75 year anniversary of Sako in 1996, when the first Sako 75 was made. The Model 75 was externally very similar to earlier Sako models, but its construction was different, having 3 symmetrical locking lugs, a manual ejector, and a detachable magazine. Hitherto, only one Sako rifle, the L46, had a detachable magazine. Models The rifle was marketed as Sako's premium model for hunting, and was delivered in many different configurations and chamberings. Examples of some Sako 75 models are: * Hunter * Hunter Stainless * Hunter left hand * Laminated stainless * Deluxe * Synthetic stainless * Finnlight * Varmint * Varmint Laminated Stainless Technical The trigger pull weight is adjustable between 1 and 2 kg. The action can be cycled with the safety applied. T ...

Stainless Steel
Stainless steel, also known as inox, corrosion-resistant steel (CRES), or rustless steel, is an iron-based alloy that contains chromium, making it resistant to rust and corrosion. Stainless steel's resistance to corrosion comes from its chromium content of 11% or more, which forms a Passivation (chemistry), passive film that protects the material and can self-healing material, self-heal when exposed to oxygen. It can be further alloyed with elements like molybdenum, carbon, nickel and nitrogen to enhance specific properties for various applications. The alloy's properties, such as luster and resistance to corrosion, are useful in many applications. Stainless steel can be rolled into Sheet metal, sheets, plates, bars, wire, and tubing. These can be used in cookware, cutlery, surgical instruments, major appliances, vehicles, construction material in large buildings, industrial equipment (e.g., in paper mills, chemical plants, water treatment), and storage tanks and tankers for ch ...

Bluing (steel)
Bluing, sometimes spelled as blueing, is a passivation process in which steel is partially protected against rust using a black oxide coating. It is named after the blue-black appearance of the resulting protective finish. Bluing involves an electrochemical conversion coating resulting from an oxidizing chemical reaction with iron on the surface selectively forming magnetite (), the black oxide of iron. In comparison, rust, the red oxide of iron (), undergoes an extremely large volume change upon hydration; as a result, the oxide easily flakes off, causing the typical reddish rusting away of iron. Black oxide provides minimal protection against corrosion, unless also treated with a water-displacing oil to reduce wetting and galvanic action. In colloquial use, thin coatings of black oxide are often termed "gun bluing", while heavier coatings are termed "black oxide". Both refer to the same chemical process for providing true gun bluing. Overview Various processes are used ...

Lever
A lever is a simple machine consisting of a beam (structure), beam or rigid rod pivoted at a fixed hinge, or '':wikt:fulcrum, fulcrum''. A lever is a rigid body capable of rotating on a point on itself. On the basis of the locations of fulcrum, load, and effort, the lever is divided into Lever#Types of levers, three types. It is one of the six simple machines identified by Renaissance scientists. A lever amplifies an input force to provide a greater output force, which is said to provide leverage, which is mechanical advantage gained in the system, equal to the ratio of the output force to the input force. As such, the lever is a mechanical advantage device, trading off force against movement. Etymology The word "lever" entered English language, English around 1300 from . This sprang from the stem of the verb ''lever'', meaning "to raise". The verb, in turn, goes back to , itself from the adjective ''levis'', meaning "light" (as in "not heavy"). The word's primary origin is the ...

Push Feed And Controlled Feed
Push feed and controlled feed (or controlled round feed) are two main types of mechanisms used in firearms to describe how the bolt drives the cartridge into the chamber and extracts the spent casing after firing. * The push feed system does not grip the base of the cartridge before the cartridge has been fully entered into the chamber, and therefore under normal operation requires the cartridge to be fully chambered before it can be extracted. * The controlled feed system grips the base of the cartridge with the extractor claw before the cartridge is stripped from the magazine, and therefore makes it possible to extract the cartridge before it has been fully chambered. The better of the two systems has been debated for over 50 years, with both systems having their own strengths and weaknesses. Some prefer the controlled round feed for hunting dangerous game, while others state that either of the systems can be reliable or unreliable, depending for example on the quality of t ...
