Thanks for the lesson Threeband.

But what is the name of that town in southern Kansaw? Arkansass City? On the Arkansass River?
I've always wondered how to say Izhevsk. Anybody know for sure?
MrBorland said:How 'bout "Lapua"?
I've seen this one start flame wars. Some claim "la poo ah", while others "la pow".
The Finnish firm of Suojeluskuntain Yliesikunnan Asepaja was established April 1, 1919. It prospered under military contracts and between the world wars supplied rifles to hunters and target shooters. The company was later renamed, mercifully, Sako (correct pronunciation: "sock-o").

I've shot an old Sako Finbear, pretty nice. The triggers on the used Sako's that I drool over at the gunstores are always the best I've ever dry fired, for what that's worth.
And don't forget proper pronunciation: It's pronounced like Sock-oh, not Sake-oh (the same way you'd say Saki for the rice wine). My bro-in-law is from Finland and gave me the heads up.
Also, you are required by international law to consume 2 lbs. of Ludafisk if you want to own a Sako.

I cannot believe this many people on a gun forum got Sako wrong. It is pronounced "Sock-O". Of course if enough people keep getting it wrong they will just give up and start calling it by the wrong name like "duct" tape. I have noticed the manufacturers have given up and even they are calling it "duck" tape now.
