Sako 85 LONG RANGE Opinions

[Clem Doore]

Hi,

Looking to see what the hide community thinks of this rifle. I want the good, the bad, and the ugly. Do any of you own this or have you owned it? If so what caliber .338 Lapua Mag or .300 Win Mag? I’m looking for a rifle I can hunt with as well as shoot long range. Im leaning heavily towards a .338.

Thanks in advance!

Clem

I don't have one. Sako makes quality rifles, and they have the accuracy guarantee. The Long Range is a sturdy hunting weight rifle, so comfort, if shooting a lot of rounds, might not be at the same level as with a heavier rifle.

note the slow twist rate as well

but sakos are nice.

for the money i'd build a custom with a proof though
