Out- of-the-Box Accurate-The New Sako 85

ACCOKEEK, MD —Accuracy is only the beginning.  Nothing is more important to a rifle shooter than accuracy and reliability.  The new Sako 85 fulfills these requirements straight out of the box.  A firearm is a precision tool and must incorporate the combination of accuracy and reliability.This philosophy has been the corner stone for the development and manufacturing of Sako firearms since 1921.   The new Sako 85 rifle must perform to high standards prior to leaving the factory.  Each rifle must placeshots within one inch at 100 yards or they don’t ship.  Serious shooters know that in order to obtain consistent sub inch groups one must start with a high quality firearm and move forward from there.

In addition to the out-of-the-box accuracy standard, the Sako 85s must meet very strict reliability, durability and safety requirements.This new line is available in four models, The Hunter, Stainless Synthetic, Grey Wolf and Finnlight.The entire Sako 85 line offers the best of all worlds – a quality custom rifle at a production price.

Sako 85 Hunter

The Sako Hunter features a traditional straight comb while the left side of the stock sports a classic shadow-line cheekpiece reminiscent of Safari rifles.  The handsome stock on the Hunter is made of a high-grade walnut finish that premium-rifle owners both appreciate and desire.  Adding to the classic design and performance of the Sako 85 Hunter is a barreled action that is finished in a non reflective satin blue, featuring controlled-round feeding, silk-smooth bolt-travel movement, an adjustable trigger and Total Control magazine-latch technology.  And, it is out of the box tested to shoot 1-inch groups at 100 yards or better!

Sako Stainless Synthetic

Combining Sako-style performance with the Giugiaro-design, the Sako 85 stainless is truly set apart from the competition.  It features a controlled-round featuring all-stainless action, match-grade free-floating hammer-forged barrel, adjustable trigger and detachable magazine with Total Control technology.  The beautifully designed synthetic stock incorporates warm-feeling, nonslip rubber inserts, while the FinSoft recoil-absorption system dramatically reduces the impact from recoil – especially in the shooter’s cheek.

Sako 85 Grey Wolf

Uniquely designed for hunting in extreme conditions, the Sako 85 Grey Wolf, features the same all-stainless barreled action as the Sako 85 Stainless Synthetic, combined with an attractive yet ultra-tough checked grey laminated stock.  The stock on the Sako 85 Grey Wolf features classic American-style lines with its straight comb and sleek profile , plus a show-line cheekpiece on the left side. The stainless barreled action and warp-free stock make this rifle the perfect choice for hunting in extreme conditions when accuracy is a must.

Sako 85 Finnlight

When weather is at its worst, determined hunters know there’s no substitute for the combination of a stainless steel barreled action and a synthetic stock. No matter how bad the weather, the Sako 85 Finnlight will withstand whatever Mother Nature dishes out, and will remain accurate as well as dependable.  Available in 14 calibers ranging from 243 to 300 Win Mag. in four action lengths, there’s a Finnlight for almost any game, anywhere, anytime. As with all of our stainless rifles, the Finnlight’s inner parts are also stainless.
