They are chrome moly, and a few dealers have them priced at $800 or so right now

Also, I haven't seen them for $800. Lowest I am seeing is $1099 for JRS1C20 (Sako 85 Synthetic Black in 30-06 SPRG). If you have a line on Synthetic Blacks for $800 I would love to know where.

Sako web-site is not too clear on the finish, but compared to other "blued" or coated rifles, the finish appears to be more a coating.
If I were find one for $800....I would be sending to JES for conversion to a 338-06

Anyone ever here back from ULA24 on the supposed dealers, plural, selling these at 800 ? I haven't. Curious.

You likely won't as they aren't.

I was bothered that I couldn't find an answer to this anywhere online. I sent an email to Sako asking what the coating/process is for the black metal parts. Their response: Hi, the process is called “bluing”. More info form Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluing_(steel) . All matte black metal parts are blued. I hope this helps! Best regards, Emma Englund Sako Ltd

This is a solid deal on an 85. There are none to be had for $800 anywhere. I would be willing to bet that. The finish on these rifles looks really good.
Regards,
