Great rifle.

Beautiful rifle at a very fair price! Are the Sakos a CRF action? Not that it reall

Sako says they are CRF.

 

[Rick Cox]

I have decided, on the off chance I go elk or brown bear hunting again, I am going to keep this rifle. It's an exceptionally nice rifle, and seeing how all the nicer rifles are starting to diminish on the market, in favor of cheap POS rifles, I'd better hold on to this one. Who knows, might shoot an Eland with it some day.

Good choice.

I smell another "epic" classified thread, like the one for Tarbe's camouflaged stocked Remington .416 Taylor awhile back.

Sako says they are CRF.

From Chuck Hawks...

"A true controlled feed action, in that situation, holds onto the first cartridge until the bolt is completely withdrawn and it is ejected. If the bolt is run forward again while still holding the first cartridge, the extractor keeps it in place and guides it into the chamber, preventing the bolt from attempting to pick-up the second cartridge and preventing a double feed jam.

Nor does the Sako 85 guide a fresh cartridge into the chamber like a controlled feed action. It simply pushes it forward and into the chamber like any push feed action. It is not until about the last 1/4" of forward bolt travel that the Sako's extractor actually gets a firm grip on the case rim. By that time the cartridge is almost all the way into the chamber anyway, so being "controlled" at that late stage is pointless.

On the plus side, the Sako's extractor will easily over-ride the rim of a cartridge fed directly into the chamber, like a normal push feed action. For all practical purposes (except advertising) the Model 85 is a push feed action. Its receiver mounted ejector lets a reloader deposit fired brass neatly to hand by opening the bolt slowly."

My experience has been that the Sako 85 is indeed CRF. It picks up the cartridge and begins to control it very close to the same time and place as a Winchester 70. You can run the cartridges in and out of the chamber without having to close the bolt on a loaded round, as you would need to with a push feed action, in order to extract and eject the round.

CRF, semi-CRF? Either way, it’s a great rifle at a very fair price. One of the “safe queen” collectors here needs to in BUY IT NOW! Bury it in your safe and pull it out in ten years, wipe the cobwebs off and sell it back to Toby? Otherwise, in a couple of months running, this thread will be neck in neck with Tarbe’s epic ad.

At least this rifle doesn't look like a bowling ball!

Per the last time you posted this, I am in the doghouse now, I am still building our log home and your post popped up again, so that little mouse turning the wheel in my brain got the light bulb to light dimly, and with as straight a face as I could muster I said to my wife look at what a good deal this is, and made some suggestion to her about forgoing her soaker tub as they are about the same price, well I almost got permantly banned from visiting this website ever again, and was given another construction project to complete, the second floor on the dog house goes up tomorrow., good luck

Buy the tub and the rifle! Since this Sako is stainless steel you can save time and clean IT while taking a bath?

Doesn't look like @TOBY458 is doing you any favors with a price drop.
