Ingvar J. KristjanssonMy new toy
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.

icemanls2Very nice! I have been looking at the same rifle.

BiebsSeems 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 ...

Ingvar J. KristjanssonLapua 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.

Zoboomafoo_dudeThat'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.
