Sako 85 ejection issues

[Hififile324]

Hi all, I’m considering buying a Sako 85 in 9.3x62. I’ve heard about the ejection issues and I’m a bit concerned, especially on a rifle in that chambering I’ll be using it to hunt black bears in brown bear country, things need to work. I’d prefer to have a low power scope mounted as low as possible which probably doesn’t help things.
Can anyone here chime in if this issue is overblown or should I pass.
Thanks

I have 5 of them, and not one single ejection issue. I like them so much I'm having my Sako 85 Grey Wolf 7mm Rem rebarreled and chambered to .375 Ruger.

If you have the slightest reservation, the Sako 90 is now widely available and is a superb hunting rifle.

My lefty SAKO 85L in .375H&H has never had issues. Love it. I shortened the barrel, had it threaded for a suppressor, had a small pic rail for a bi-pod put on it. It’s very accurate.
