• Hey All! Lately there has been more and more scammers on the forum board. They register and replies to members requests for guns and/or parts or other things. The reply contains a gmail or hotmail address or similar ”anonymous” email addresses which they want you to reply to. DO NOT ANSWER ANY STRANGE MESSAGES! They often state something like this: ”Hello! Saw your post about purchasing a stock for a Safari. KnuckleheadBob has one. Email him at: [email protected]” If you receive any strange messages: Check the status of whoever message you. If they have no posts and signed up the same day or very recently, stay away. Same goes for other members they might refer to. Check them too and if they are long standing members, PM them and ask if the message is legit. Most likely it’s not. Then use the report function in each message or post so I can kick them out! Beware of anything that might seem fishy! And again, for all of you who registered your personal name as username, please contact me so I can change it to a more anonymous username. You’d be surprised of how much one can find out about a person from just a username on a forum such ad our! All the best! And be safe! Jim

    Sako rifles not offered in the USA

    I really would like to purchase a Sako 85 Varmint Laminated Stainless rifle in 7mm-08 with a single set trigger, but that cartridge offering is not available in the USA. What should I do?

    How to mount Swarovski SR rail on 85 Finnlight

    Do you think this would work and keep the scope objective close to the barrel? https://shop.osumaproducts.fi/en/verkkokauppa/tuotteet/osuma-sr-rail-mount-optilock-base They are in Finnland, so maybe the company works well with Sako?

    How to mount Swarovski SR rail on 85 Finnlight

    Yes, I have seen that. It is very general. I am hoping someone has actually mounted a Swaro with SR rail to their Sako 85. I want to hear some personal experiences with mounting and real world use. Hopefully someone has done it! Thanks for your reply!

    How to mount Swarovski SR rail on 85 Finnlight

    I would really like to get a new Swarovski scope with the SR rail, but I cannot find any information on how to mount it to my Sako 85 Finnlight. It seems that Blaser rifles are very accommodating for railed scopes, but I can't find much else. Does anyone have any experience with this?

    Optiloks

    Thanks for the replies, but I am still confused. I called Beretta yesterday, and they told me I needed the extended bases. Can anyone offer any clarification?

    Optiloks

    I have confirmed that the x-low rings will work, but does anyone know what Optilock bases will work for a Sako 85 Finnlight 300 Win Mag? Is it the long (part number S170R957) or extended (part number S170R958)?

    Optiloks

    Any idea what the part numbers are for the Optilok stainless steel Optilok rings and bases for a Sako 85 Finnlight in 300 Win Mag and Swarovski Z6i 3-16x50 BT (30mm tube and 50mm objective)? Am I correct in assuming that I want the scope mounted as low as possible? Any thoughts on the Optiloks?

    Model and caliber selection

    What about a 300 WSM? I wish Sako made a heavier 85 with a SS barrel and synthetic stock!

    Model and caliber selection

    New to the Sako forum and looking for suggestions. I have a 7mm-08 Remington and 270 Win Sako A7. Looking for a new rifle to add to my collection. What would be a good next step up from a 270? I was thinking 300 Win Mag in the 85 Finnlight. I love those rifles, but they seem too light for a...

    I did that. The Sako 85 Synthetic Stainless doesn't show up. It is on the Sako website and Sako's 2016 catalog, as well as their 2015 catalog.

    New member & question

    New member here from Alabama in USA. I am trying to purchase a Sako 85 Synthetic Stainless in 7mm Rem Mag. I cannot find them anywhere, only the Finnlight. How can I purchase this firearm? I have two very reputable gun shops near me, but neither of them carry the Synthetic Stainless. Any help?
