Here is my newest toy which I’m thrilled about. It’s a Sako 85 Varmint in 260 Remington. I'm reloading 123 gr. Lapua Scenar and Hornady A-Max 123 gr. and both look very promising. Next I’ll try Hornady 129 gr. interlock for general hunting.

Very nice! I have been looking at the same rifle.

Seems like anything in 260 Rem is getting harder to find. I guess it's a "late bloomer" !!!

85gr Speer HP @ 34-35 hundred can ruin a varmints day in a hurry.Reasonably accurate in my 75 and my 88

Very nice indeed ; May I inquire as to the cost of Lapua Scenar's in your neck of the woods as opposed too A-Max's ?

Thank You ...

Lapua Scenar 123gr. and Hornady A-max 123 gr. cost exactly the same in my local shop, a box with 100 bullets cost about 43 USD.

That's a great looking rig. I have been lusting after an 85 for a while now, especially with the set trigger! Let us know how it shoots.

If it's anything like my '75 you are definitely going to enjoy your new toy!

works just fine on porkers



and shoots like a Sako
