My New Sako 85 Bavarian!

[absales]

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.

That's a fucking beautiful rifle, congrats. I'll bet my bottom dollar that it's a tack driver too.

Yeah, let's see the left side of that wood so we can really turn green with envy.
Congrats, and good choice.

Wow that’s a beauty! I have a couple Sako rifles and they are all shooters. Enjoy it

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

This was a custom shop rifle with upgraded wood

Congratulations on your beautiful rifle. I'm also a fan of the Bavarian Model.
