SAKO 85 is a very nicely done so-so design. Sauer 202 the cream of the crop. I wouldn't get one. It'll make you wanna slap your Remington.
Have not owned the 202 Sauer,
do have a couple of the Sauer 200
Top: Sauer 200 Europa-Lux, 25-06 Rem.
Bottom: Sauer 200 Banquet Rifle
IMHO, at least on these two, the quality of the wood, fit and finsh are superior to the garden variety Sakos of the past. Quality rifles that shoot better than they look!
BTW, barrels are interchangable.
ya!
