Sako will be making a limited run of Model 85s this year. Euro Optic has them on their website and offering them on Gunbroker. Price of 1850$ is what they are asking. That's just crazy...

George, what caliber is that M70 SS?

It's $1925 now...as much as I would like a Sako, thats just nuts!


30+ years experience tells me that perfection hit at .264. Others are adequate but anything before or after is wishful thinking.

Looks like the left hand sako is priced $250 above a right handed rifle - after being charged $600-700 more on a left handed 550 this seems like a relative deal

Lets see if the beretta gallery in NYC gets few

went to the beretta gallery in nyc today

they have ordered a few left handed rifles but they have no idea on delivery time

i think i will end up with a 30/06

saw a dt-11 left handed 12 gauge - nice but its built for serious sporting clay - its heavy. i will stick with my 682e sporting.
