Sako 85 Series - anyone seen one?

An article in my latest SCI Safari Mag indicates that this rifle has just been released at Reno.

Any one seen one? Sounds and looks like a great rifle.

Also been released in the new Sako 85 is the Federal 338, a new Cartridge released by Federal. Apparently a 308 necked up to a 338 with some pretty impressive ballisics!

I've seen some pics of them. Other than that, nada. I spoke with a rep for them up here and he's saying they should be out towards spring/summer up here in the states

MLG, I have not seen them yet either, but have read that they will be CRF. If they retain the other features of the M-75 action, e.g. detachable box magazine option and 60 degree bolt throw, I'll be in for several!
