Sorry Jim, I was referring to the older L series & the A series. Have never owned a Sako 75 but do have a 85 in 9.3 x 66 - it is scary accurate and functions perfectly in every way (although I have heard about the issue of ejecting shells hitting the scope & falling back in but not on mine). But still like the older Sakos as I firmly believe the new ones good as they are were made/designed to cut manufacturing costs. Progress I suppose? confused
