Sako 85 Bavarian

[Two Barrels]

Anybody here own or shoot one of these? What is the good and the bad you have experienced?

[Pass shot]

I had an 85 in 338 for about 5 minutes. Gun ejected rounds into the scope and right back into the mag well. Google it. Lots of them do it but not all and beretta will tell you it's on you

I have a Bavarian Carbine in .308. One of my favorite guns to shoot and hunt with. One of the best feeling rifles I’ve ever put to my shoulder.

I have 5 85 action Sakos, I’ve never experienced the brass jam some talk about. It’s mostly in magnum cartridges and from guys jacking the action way to hard. Dang actions are tight and slick as heck, takes two fingers to open and cycle it.

Salty,

Are you shooting the iron sights on that 308 or did you scope it?

No, I have a S&B Stratos 1.5-8X42 on it. My eyes suck anymore, but if I could see, they’d be lined up every time.
