Being as I'm a lefty for the most part, I do things upside down and backwards. The 6.5 x 55 and the 30-06 have cross-bolts.

IIRC there are six different iterations/receiver lengths for the Sako 85 rifles.

The 308 Win is the "small" length,

while the 6.5 x 55 SE and the 30-06 are the Medium length



Here is a short vid I did on my 308 Bavrian a while back while this controversy was raging.

I usually use scopes with a 40mm to a max of 50mm objectives.

I've never had an ejection problem with any of mine.

Just lucky I guess!

If I can manage the time I'll do a short vid on the 6.5 x 55 half stock, and see what happens!

ya!
