This is a timely thread. I have an 'itch' for a Sako and have been asking some questions/gathering info. From what I have gathered, the 75's are heavier than the 85's. The 85's have an 'enhanced' magazine release which prevents accidental removal, whereas the 75's do not. There may be other differences that i overlooked or am not aware of.


I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.
