snuffy18's Review of Sako 85
18th May 2008
Overall Rating
- Value for money
- Handling
- Accuracy
It is a fine, well engineered rifle in nearly every respect.
Bad Points
You would expect much better customer service when buying a $1500 rifle. If you buy one, I hope you never need parts or service.
General Comments
A very accurate out-of-the-box rifle. I bought the grey wolf (stainless w/ laminate stock) and killed an elk, two antelope and two deer the first season I hunted with it. It functioned flawlessly.
On another note, customer service is friendly, but not very helpful, and elusive. In 17 months of trying, I cannot get a spare magazine for my Sako 85. Customer service has given me five dates on five occasions since Jan. '07 when they would be available, and been wrong every time. Letters and phone calls to upper management have been not been responded to.

Chuck Hawks wrote this of the Sako 85. " We reviewed a Sako 85 Hunter in depth and found that the Sako 85 version of controlled feed lacks the advantages of a true controlled feed action.

I also bought a Grey wolf in .338 Federal and plan on going hunting for elk in 3 weeks. What caliber did you buy?
