Thanks to Biebs I was able to acquire my latest Sako an M85 Bavarian Carbine!




Scoped, Zerod at 200 and ready to perforate porkers.

ya!

A beautiful rifle. I'm looking forward to the hog report!

Now there's an appropriate scope for that Sako! :-)

What's the magazine capacity, 4 knives down and 1 knife in the chamber?

I love a stutzen! Those Sakos are beautiful!

Beautiful rifle and scopes. I wish they made them self handed.

Fine looking rifle G.W. I like that fiddle-back.
Do you find you prefer the Euro style comb over the American style or does it make much difference?
Mike

Mike, let me put it this way, when I'm very hungry, I can enjoy Spam out of a can as much as a fine steak when I'm not.

I am a Sako nut, I like the Mannlicher stock style, the set trigger the slickness of the actions and their accuracy.

Whether it's a comb over or a straight stock is not usually my frame of reference when I'm drawing a bead on a critter.

The main negative that comes to mind is the thickness of the stock at the magazine where I tend to carry a rifle in the field. I find my self employing a sling rather than toting it by hand.


Maybe it comes from being a Mutt rather than a pure-bred. I'm adaptable.

ya!
