Sir:
I am not saying you should.
I am saying if you were to you would have the same issue. I did on my 75 300 rum and on my Sako M995 30-378. Both LR rigs so m-1's were warranted in my opinion. Both ejected fired brass back into the magazine

This is a very common issue with Sako 85's especially with the 30-06 length actions, I have had several in every action length and many suffered from this issue, I like My scopes mounted low and I'm sure that had some bearing on My problems with Sako 85's but My thoughts were that a rifle in this price range should function properly, I don't think that's asking for a lot here...............Notice how high the Sako Opti-lock mounting systems tend to be, I think European hunters mostly use scopes with huge objectives (night hunting) and these high ejecting rifles are not an issue in their case, just My 2 cents here it's only a guess...........Good luck................Hb

[quote=shrapnel] Everyone knows how poor a shot I am. Is that a llama? Looks like something that got hit by a snowplow.

After having the it on order for about a month, my new Sako Grizzly in 9.3x62 showed up Tuesday. Gorgeous gun in every way. I was still thinking about what kind of scope to put on it and I've got a few old crappy ones of various sizes laying around with some mock up blocks I made a while back for determining ring height for different objective heights, etc.
Well I get the rifle in the vise with scope on top and decide to test the ejection because of what I've read previously about them and sure enough, live and empty cases both hit the turret every time. So I use my blocks to raise it up a little more, still hits.
Called and emailed EuroOptic.com today to see about returning it for another one. It sucks because it really its a beautiful rifle. Geezus....
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

Guess I've been lucky in my choices of those nasty Sako rifles..... never had an issue with mine, other than that the actions were slicker than owl schitt and they were boringly accurate. Best, GWB

Best, GWB The key lies in those bolt handles you've got laying there. No long action 85's. I wish like hell mine would have ran fine. I really do love it in every other way. I just can't accept empties tagging the scope and falling back into the action. That's a non-negotiable.

It is the 3 lug bolt with the ejector in the bottom of the bolt...

shrapnel, the ejection problems are isolated to the long action 85's only.

GWB,
Try empty fired brass for your "You Tube" not a loaded cartridge with a bullet seated.
Also, I have experienced empty brass hitting a Minox scope with my Sako. The Minox windage adjustment cover stuck out to far. I changed to a Leupold, no problems from then on out.
