Operating principle of the SAKO-90 rifle
SAKO-90 Bavarian is a classic repeating rifle, based on a slide-turn lock (4-barrel). Locking is carried out through symmetrically located bolts, corresponding to the locking resistance in the barrel extension. Such a system is simple and reliable, in addition to being easy to clean and maintain. It also ensures high firing accuracy and withstands various pressures of the ammunition used.
Safeties and manipulators
The rifle has two types of safeties. The primary one is a slide fuse located on the right side of the breech chamber. It can be easily operated by the shooter without taking his hand off the grip. The second safety is a lock that prevents the shooter from firing when the breech is not cocked. The reloading lever has an enlarged head so as to improve the process of firing rapid shots.
Targeting instruments
The rifle uses simple targeting instruments with a relatively short aiming line. They consist of a musket and a pinniped, which are extremely fast in alignment with each other, which translates into a quick time between spotting the target and firing a shot. In addition, the rifle is equipped with the ability to install any form of optics, thanks to the 22mm mounting rail onthe breech chamber.
