I've owned several Sako's but not an 85. It will be a well built accurate gun. I am no longer a fan of the mounting system and if there is a problem with the gun Beretta will blame it on you.
No need to worry about weather.
For the price of a new one ,you can also own someone's used custom.In fact I would actually rather buy a Tikka. The mounting system is better and the action is stiffer. Both shoot well but I suspect there are more one hole shooters with Tikka than with Sako. FYI they use the same barrels.
Look around and right now you can likely still find a close out T3 Tikka for under $500.
