Im in the progress of buying a Sako 85 Bavarian in the 30-06 caliber and this thread make me back off a lil. I kind of wonder if they all have this issue or just a couple out of the lot. Did Sako do anything to improve their action in the last years?
I asked Stoeger here in Canada and there is what i got for answer;
"The Sako mechanical ejection system does eject on a more vertical angle because of it’s placement in the bottom of the action. Sako has been using this ejector system since 1995. At that time, most scopes were 1” tubes and used smaller hunting style turrets. In recent years, 30mm tubes have become more common and a lot of scopes now feature tactical size turrets for some reason. With a low mounted scope, this sometimes can put the turret in the path of ejection. With 1” scopes having small turrets, low rings will generally work well. With bigger 30mm scopes, particularly if they have large turrets, we recommend medium rings."
