The Sako 85 Grizzly / Arctos thread

[Tintin]

The recent @EuroOptic thread got me thinking ... I reckon we might need a thread just dedicated to these fine rifles.

So, show us what you've got.

I'll kick things off with the 8x57.

There is a Sako Brown Bear in 500 Jeff on Gunsinternational right now. I don't know if the price is good or not.

It is high, but not terribly high.
Looks to be in pristine shape, ive seen other 85's go for 6-7k..
