Sako

Sako is a Finnish firearms manufacturer and brand known for bolt-action rifles used by hunters, sport shooters, and precision shooters. The company was founded in the early 20th century in Riihimäki, Finland, as a government-linked arms producer and later became an independent entity known as Sako Oy. In the 1990s–2000s it was acquired by Beretta Holding, and manufacturing continued in Finland under the Sako name as part of the Beretta group.

Sako's product range includes hunting and sport rifles such as the Sako 75 and Sako 85 families, lighter Finnlight variants, and modern platforms like the Sako S20. The company also produced precision and sniper rifles, notably the TRG series, used by competitive shooters and some military and police units. Sako rifles are widely regarded for accuracy, durability, modular features, and smooth bolt operation, with options for adjustable stocks, triggers, and safeties.

Today, Sako operates as a premium brand within Beretta Holding, maintaining a focus on Finnish craftsmanship and accuracy while expanding into modern materials and ergonomic designs. The Sako name is primarily associated with firearms, though it is also a surname in Finland.
