Sako 75 and 85's are rifles that are manufactured to a higher standard instead of made to sell at a price point. You see machined steel instead of MIM parts, the internal parts are finished better, they are machined more square than many other rifles that are made to compete on price. If you are looking for higher overall quality the Sako 85's are for you and the price is well justified.
If you want a very good rifle at a lower price point you might look into the Sako A7's or Tikka T3's. They are very good rifles but have a few less expensively manufactured parts such as the stocks and magazines.......................DJ
