Sako 85 - Discontinued?

[Beck]

I checked the Sako Website again this morning. They now have a page under their products section for Sako Rifles that says "Something new is coming soon...". Hopefully that means they are coming out with an all new line.

Coming Soon....

It could be a number of things but a rifle in a more traditional style than S20 or 100 would make sense.

... or they could enter the AR-derivative market with semi auto versions of the ones they are now making for Finland and Sweden...

Good thing....

 

[Beck]

So it should be, it's a fundamentally flawed rifle design.

Don't really understand that comment. If you don't like Sako's read something else.

Good thing....

Again, if you don't like the rifles read something else.

Piece off shite ss a dg rifle....Let me quess you own one and think it is the best thing since sliced bread....
Last time I checked we where entitled to our own opinions.....
Refer me to a dedicated DG ph who uses this as a dg backup rifle.....none because it is shite for the job.....simple....

 

[IvW]

It is NOT crf, has a shit extractor/ejection mechanism(try ejecting an unfired round) and built too light for caliber....
You like it. ...good for you but do not try to confince the ones in the know what works and what does not....especially the ones who risk there lives on the rifles they carry on a daily basis..

I don't think there was anything about the original post that specified DG-caliber 85s. Or did I miss that? Sako does make a bunch of rifles that aren't DG-calibers, you know. Like most of what they sell, and most of what people around the world own.

I can't fathom what makes someone want to get this BIG MAD every time this rifle model is mentioned. Imagine getting this mad about the mere mention of a rifle on an online forum? Good grief. Take a deep breath.

I know, I know: "the BRNO ZKK 602 is the best thing ever made, that's all you need, everything else is not as good or redundant, CRF, professional hunter opinion, dedicated DG PH, etc., etc." ad nauseam. I saved you some typing.

 

[IvW]

So dont tell me if I dont like the rifles to not read the post......or not comment..
Was it specified anywhere that this is only regarding pg calibers.....did I miss the caliber cut off somewhere????
They are shite dg rifles....if you missed that part...

You beat me too it, hopfully it's a more traditional 85 replacement.
I bet Sako reps have been lurking these online forums....

Sako, CRF .416 Rigby, make it happen and I'll be your first sale.

 

[IvW]

It aint CRF......

 

[Northern Shooter]

It aint CRF......

It hasn't been announced yet so just wishful thinking.

 

[Wishfulthinker580]

It aint CRF......

How is it not CRF? Not that it matters as IIRC you’ve no problem with the R8..

Take a deep breath, get some fresh air, read a good book, eat your favorite food, meditate, etc.

Repeat this mantra: You are going to make it through this. You are going to be OK. You are going to make it through this. You are going to be OK.

I haven't heard anything about a new 95 Model. The 100 doesn't impress me. Sako has always been a higher priced rifle but at $4800 which is twice the price or better of an 85 I think that will take it away from the average Moose and Deer hunter.

 

[Northern Shooter]

So any predictions when this new rifle will be announced? When's the next big gun show in Finland/Europe?

You have? I’ve repeated asked you for your experience where a Sako 85 failed and you will not elaborate.

Sako 85 Or CZ

I have been searching around for info and trying to find some info on the Sako 85 and the CZ. The CZ has been regarded as one of the trusted rifles for Africa. And I have been itching for a 375 CZ. Then I started exploring the Sako 85. I have found some info. But know i stuck between the two...

Plunge ejector could not expel unfired cartridge from rifle
Cracked stock
