I am considering purchasing one, but have heard a lot about ejection problems on the 30-06 based rounds.

I believe I have read that the magnums and short actions don't have the problem.

Please post your experience with a magnum Sako 85

Thanks!


I don't have a 85 magnum but since you mentioned the '06 based action I thought I would chime in. I just got a LH Hunter 30-06 and it feeds and extracts perfectly, much better than my old L 691 in fact. Only one 85 but it is doing really good, have medium Leupold mounts and Burris scope which came off the old gun.
