If you are looking to shoot far, the Sako 85 Long Range rifle will serve you very well. This rifle has been designed for long-range hunting in particular. Specific details, such as a muzzle brake, 26" match grade barrel, double sling studs and a stock designed for the prone position, guarantee that you will hit your target even from extreme distances.
STOCK
The Sako 85 Long Range has a flat fore- end that provides better support while shooting without a bipod. The double studs enable simultaneous attachment of both the sling and bipod.
MUZZLE BRAKE
Flush design muzzle brake was added to reduce the recoil. Muzzle brake will make it easier to keep the target in sights after the shot.
ACTION
Sako 85 actions come in six different sizes (CSA), providing reliable functioning for each caliber. All Sako 85 models feature controlled cartridge feed (RCS) to eliminate double feed or cartridge jams. The turn-bolt handle places the hand in a natural position during bolt operation, which allows for rapid repeated firing.
BARREL
Sako 85 barrels are manufactured with a passion for craftsmanship and the very best knowledge of Sako. Barrel blanks are drilled, honed, cold- hammer forged, finished and finally individually inspected by an optical fine-tuning instrument: the human eye. Twist rates are chosen for each caliber to optimize accuracy and bullet performance. Sako 85 barrels, blued or stainless, have a non-reflecting, satin-like surface – with the exception of the Sako 85 Deluxe and Safari models that have a highly polished finish.
MAGAZINE
The staggered, two-row magazine of the Sako 85 is made of stainless steel. The detachable magazine can also be loaded through the ejection port. The Total Control Latch (patent pending) of the Sako 85 prevents accidental magazine release.
SAFETY
The special two-way Sako safety locks both the trigger and the bolt handle. The unique bolt release button of the Sako Safety System allows you to load or remove a cartridge from the chamber while the safety is engaged.
SIGHTS
Most of the Sako 85 models with a blued finish on the barrel are available with either standard or optional adjustable iron sights. The front bead is adjustable in elevation and the rear blade in windage.
