While the 85 never had the key lock on the rear of the bolt some 75's did as does this one. Last edited by rembo; 04/18/21.

I just recently ran across an extremely clean AV in 7MM Rem Mag..... Its a very nice handling rifle. I'm sure that it will be a flame thrower and a noise maker as it's one of the 20"' barreled carbines that Sako turned out at the time. I cant decide whether I want to shoot it in full sunlight or wait until near sundown to see the flame it puts out. It's official. I missed the selfie deadline so I'm Maser's sock puppet because rene and the Polish half of the fubar twins have decided that I am. ΜOΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ μολὼν λαβέ

I had mannlichers, they will put out a flame near dark, clear other shooters off the benches near you

My hunting partner has a SS 75 in 300Win Mag. It's been topped with a 3-9x36 Zeiss Diavari C, 3.5-10x40 Leupold, 2.5-10x42 Nightforce, and 2-12x50 Swaro. To my knowledge, there isn't any brass bonking the scope. I can walk on water.......................but I do stagger a bit on alcohol.
