i keep coming back to Sako's website and the "Sako 85 Synthetic Black 6.5x55 Swede Rifle JRS1C51"

http://www.sako.fi/rifles/sako-85/85-synthetic-black

I have 6.5 Swede RCBS loading dies sitting on the shelf...
I have over a hundred rounds of brass...
I have a ready supply of Speer 140 grain hotcors...

But I have never paid more than $630 for a rifle, and this rifle will cost near double that...

base and rings will be pricey...
i will need to acquire a new scope...
i have no idea how reliable a Sako 85 is in cold and wet weather...

but I keep coming back to this rifle...
