Hi there! I am interested in any Sako 85 rifles for sale. I have a spot in my collections for most any caliber from .308 up to big bore cartridges. No synthetic stocks please. Send me a PM with what you have. Thanks!!
 
Word of advice...if you buy an 06 length, check Ejection with a scope on.
I have bavarian Sako 85, 30-06, no issues. But I have to say: I have medium height optilock scope rings (sako originals).

Question remains for low height scope rings? Do they by any chance cause such problems? (I dont know)

Bottom line: many times mentioned ejection issues on Sako most often was claimed for magnum length calibers. This is the first time I hear for 30-06 (medium action) lenght possible problems.

In any case, height of rings when Sako 85 ejection problems was mentioned was not defined.
I am still baffled by this Sako 85 phenomenon...
