Beretta Introduces New Sako 90 Grizzly: Built to Hunt - Classic Walnut Beauty Meets Modern Performance

Beretta introduces the Sako 90 Grizzly, a rifle built for hunters who appreciate traditional craftsmanship without sacrificing modern performance. Blending refined walnut aesthetics and precision engineering, the Grizzly is designed to deliver dependable accuracy and durability in every hunting environment.

At the heart of the Sako 90 Grizzly is a beautifully crafted, high-grade walnut stock accented with rosewood details. The classic profile offers both timeless elegance and ergonomic comfort, ensuring confident handling whether in a stand, on a stalk, or navigating rugged backcountry terrain. Performance matches its looks. The rifle features a fluted stainless-steel barrel protected by a Graphite Black Cerakote finish, delivering exceptional resistance to the elements while maintaining the rigidity needed for consistent, repeatable accuracy. A machined integral Picatinny rail provides a rock-solid optics mounting platform that will never shift or loosen, giving hunters total confidence in their zero. With a medium-contour barrel that balances weight and stiffness, the Sako 90 Grizzly upholds the legendary accuracy that Sako rifles are known for around the world. From whitetail in dense hardwoods to elk in open country, the Grizzly is built to perform season after season.

"The Sako 90 Grizzly represents the perfect harmony of tradition and modern performance," said Jared Smethurst, Product Manager at Beretta USA. "With its elegant walnut stock, precision-engineered barrel, and rock-solid optics platform, the Grizzly is designed for hunters who demand both style and accuracy"
