gunslinger55Sako 85L Kodiak .375
Any one have one? What are your impressions? May get a deal on one if I want but I don't really "need" another .375
Seems like a nice setup

Big Wonderful WyomingThe magazines are supposed to have "issues", they feel damn nice for what that is worth.
I like the integral scope mounts, the stock, and the sights.
I have a Sako 75 in a 6mm PPC that has enough problems to make me think hard about getting one in a caliber that I might use on a bear or bovine that can smash me.
If you google a bit you'll come up with similar noise from tons of people. Not sure if Sako has remedied this or not.

MARK H. YOUNGI shot and handled one quite a bit a couple of years ago in Zim. I liked it. If I was looking for an all weather 375 I'd have to consider this one.

BenKKI have one, good rifle. Awesome on plainsgame in Africa; awesome on buffalo, etc. here. I have to ensure that I only load three bullets in the magazine, and that they are perfectly settled. Once the shooting starts, it feeds well. Another guy I know has one and it doesn't have the magazine problem mine sometimes has. I have shot plenty of wild cattle at 200m with no problem - some were running. Great rifle for meat work, especially in the wet season. Open sights are accurate but too fat. I can hit buffalo chest somewhere at 70m, but prefer finer open sights or the scope for precision one-shot kills. My brother especially has killed some monster buffalo with my rifle.

Yep that is what I had heard. Best to buy a couple magazines I guess. But in Darwin the logistics of bad magazines make it hard.

gunslinger55The open sights are definitely for close range work

PKWI've got one and I like it. It is very accurate and feeds just fine (4 down) w Remmington factory ammo. It's not a light rifle despite short bbl. mine tips right at 10# with full magazine scope and sling. I mounted a swaro z6 1-6 scope.
