Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Sako 85 (or other suggestions)

That's pretty much a subjective question. Some folks will say yes, some will say no. I find that I'm very seldom sorry that I went first class, while many times I'm less than satisfied with cheap equipment.


I own/have owned a number of Sako's. Only one I could not get to shoot. Turned out it was a chamber issue. I took it back to the store where I trade and got my money back.

Used Sako's if purchased right are definitely worth the money.
Used Coopers if purchsed right are definitely worth the money.

It's hard to get the best quality, availability and service at a cheap price.

Although I usually buy used, here are a couple I bought new. Hard to find these used. I do not regret purchasing either one. The actions are smooth as silk, they feed flawlessly. Have set triggers that break about 9 oz. The Stainless laminate in 260 Rem will come close to shooting 1 hole groups with 130 gr. Accubonds and the 308 Bavarian carbine is a jewell. Not a 1 holer (yet) but definitely shoots sub inch at 100.
