SAKO 85 HUNTER – Sako 85M SKU: #6555 Hunter's Edge in Gap transition camo. The barrel contour is for a standard sporter. Sako "M" action length. I've had both a .30-06 and .270 in it.

Bought this last year and mounted an action up and took 'er hunting. I have a McSwirly which I've decided I prefer so I want to sell this Edge and get another Mcswirly.

Great condition - there is a small defect (4th pic) inside where the bolt cut-out is. You cannot see it when the action is mounted and I didn't notice it 'til just now while taking pictures.

$550 shipped.

I thought McMillan had to fit these to your specific action?

More important than weight, to me anyways, is the grip and handling of the stock. I've never been a fan of the Sako Soft Touch stocks.

For reference - 4 Sako 85M stocks all weighed on the cheap digital scale.

In order heaviest to lightest - Sako85 Hunter, McMillan standard, Sako Finnlight ST, McMillan Edge

I'm down to 1 Sako 85M, and 3 stocks. wink

Get ya' one without the wait and save yourself money to boot. Don't be shy about throwing me an offer via PM. The worst I can say is, no. wink
