Our Assessment: The Sako P94S is widely regarded as one of the finest rimfire bolt-action rifles ever made. Produced in Finland with legendary Sako precision, this rifle offers a silky bolt throw, crisp trigger, and tack-driving accuracy. The quality of materials, execution of design, and durability of these rifles are simply unmatched in the rimfire world.
This example, imported by Stoeger of Hackensack, NJ, is chambered in .22 LR and comes equipped with a premium Leupold 2-7x variable scope—an ideal optic for rimfire hunting or bench work. The rifle retains most of its factory finish, features a handsome checkered walnut stock with a right-hand cheekpiece, and has a pristine bore. While the front sight blade is missing and the buttpad screws show rust, these are superficial issues on an otherwise well-preserved and highly capable rifle.
Whether you’re a Sako collector, a small game hunter, or a precision rimfire shooter, the P94S remains one of the most rewarding rifles to own and shoot. This is the kind of rifle that earns its keep on the range and in the field—and stays in the family for generations.
