Anyone own a Sako 85 Finnlight?

[mossyhead]

Just curious if any of you own a Sako 85 Finnlight? I am shopping for a hunting rifle and keep going back to these as they seem like a quality rifle. I have always been a Remington 700 guy,  but these are pretty darn nice and really like the detachable mag. and the weight of the gun.

I have one in a .270 WSM.  Love the gun on all accounts.  Incredibly accurate and love the detachable mag.  There's a little trick you have to know about the mag though.  You have to push up on the mag and push the release at the same time then let go of the mag and it will come out.  Keeps them from accidentally dropping out.  Nice feature when you know about it.  I put a Leica 4.5x14 on it.

The 85 finnlight will be my next rifle. I have an A7 right now and it's a really nice accurate rifle but I wish I had spent the extra $300 and got the 85.

My wife has one in 300wsm. It is an incredibly nice rifle.  I own 4 rem 700 and the finnlight is twice the rifle of any of them.  You won't be disappointed.  I tried to get her to just get a tikka but the difference in quality is worth the extra money

They are great rifles and you wont be disappointed if you decide to pick one up.

I have a 75 Finlight in 300 win mag, I have had a lot of rifles, none are close to the total package the Finlight is.
Extremely well engineered rifle.

I have it in the 270 wsm.  It's the best mountain rifle I've ever owned

I own the Kimber Montana  and it is a nice rifle and it comes close to the Sako and is a little lighter but it still lacks a few features that really make the Finnlight stand out.

Sako was my first adult rifle and I still hunt it today.  Finlight was not around but would have been the obvious choice if it were in the 60s.  Quality lasts a long time.

 Warning if you buy, you may become a Sakoholic!! Make sure the gun comes with low Optilocks, they will be fine until around a 50mm obj. I believe.
