Sako 85 Bavarian in .308 Win. Still have to take it out to the range. Hope to put it to good use in the years to come for Whitetail Deer, Black Bear, and some African Plains game.

Beautiful, I wish it was mine.
 
NICE rifle! I’m sure it will serve you well.
 
Yeah, let's see the left side of that wood so we can really turn green with envy.
Congrats, and good choice.
 
Beautiful rifle, I have the Bavarian in 375 H&H and Sako 90 Hunter in 308, love them
Enjoy!
 
They are surprisingly popular here in Germany. 95% of all new rifles are now threaded for a silencer, so they make a variant for Europe that is set up that way as most of us are hunting with a silencer.
 
Beautiful rifle indeed.
And great wood! Did you ask for an higter grade wood, or just got lucky?

They are nice well balanced rifles. They point well and have a decent pistol grip, unlike many a Yank rifle stock which is made from a skinny blank to save money. Also a decent chambering. At least you didn’t call it a Sako ‘Barbarian’, unlike one of our Aussie member! Have fun.

I have hunted in the past with a silencer and they are excellent. Unfortunately, where I live now they are not legal
 
Congratulations on your beautiful rifle. I'm also a fan of the Bavarian Model.

I have a Chapuis 450-400 double that looks brand new and shoots well, never been hunted from what I can tell. I am willing to part with it as I have a 375 H&H Sodia on it's way from Dorleac & Dorleac. I am looking for $9,250 for it and if you are interested, I am happy to send you some pictures. Regards,
Steve
