Yeah nobody loves Sako rifles more than Gary, I wish I could find a rifle that I love as much as Gary loves Sako's........I have owned a dozen or so new in box 75/85 model Sako rifles in various models and calibers and they do have good points like fit and finish, i do like the synthetic stocks on Sako 85's but if you guy's are in denial over the ejection issue I'm sorry but it really does exist and is actually rather common.....Im also not a fan of their Optilock mounting system, on the other hand I am no fanboy of any brand of rifle and I can think of features I dont like on almost all of them........I just call it as I have experienced it, no fanboy here...........Hb
