IMO Sako's are overrated. I've owned 3 now cause I'm a glutton for punishment with a short memory. Quality construction is undeniable but the design leaves something to be desired. A 3 lug bolt with a standing ejector at 6 oclock isn't a good idea. 2 of my 3 eject empties up into the scope. One did it so bad the empty would land back in the chamber usually backwards. My last purchase was a 270Win 85 classic. Beautiful stock but the beadblast had a candy cane pattern where it was beadblasted unevenly. Sent that back and the replacement is one of the worst shooting rifles I've ever had. Shoots most factory ammo over 2". Overrated.....Yep. Won't send it back for fixin either. 3 strikes your out.
Oh yeah. Don't care for the way the squared off belly carries on the 85's either. They're fat on both sides of the magazine.
