One is 7/08 and the other was a 270wsm re- barreled to 300saum. They are a slap-up action and very accurate. I can't fault them except yes, I have had rounds popular out of the mag. Its an easy set up past just closing the stainless mag lips a fiddling scrap. Both of mine get a lot of work hunting and on the range. I would by another one in a flash. |

Information technology is not a perfect rifle by any means and some Sako aficiniados might turn their nose upwards at it. Here is my view of it Scale of 1-10 Out of the box accuracy 10
Ergonomics 9...points like a fine shotgun ...very sparse rifle besides
Smoothness of action 10
Trigger 10
FInish on butt and action 10
Magazine is a definite upgrade from a T3x Negative
Plastika Shroud and trigger baby-sit. They tin can be replaced with a Sako 85 Commodities shroud (about 45 bucks) and an atlasworx aluminum trigger guard (around 115)

I under stand they rectified the original blueprint so the mag actually snaps in place( I know a novel concept). if you lot accept a 85 shroud tool it will brand your life easier as well.

If they do pop they tin exist fixed quite easilyl, there are a lot of magazines with metal feed lips that have to be "adapted" from time to time, including your Sako 85 and my Sako 75.
