Straight pull. Interchangeable barrels?
My money is on an action with integral rail. Well, it’s not as if one should expect to see re-issue of a classic with minor modifications to satisfy the pensionable members of The Stalking Directory!

They’ve sorted out the ejection issues by reducing the angle of flight and beefing up ejection power !
I think
I think
Even the 75 was a very heavy action for what it was.
The best new Sako is the Tikka T3.
Would be true if you could topload the t3
Not sure what advantage top-loading gives.
I load all my floorplate rifles from the bottom, by opening the floorplate latch and having the bolt closed, as shown here:
Reduces stress on the magazine spring and follower, less likely to have feeding problems, allows the use of a picatinny rail over the top of the action which leaves the loading port obscured from the top.
And a picatinny rail is a definite advantage...
Seems to be a reworking of the 85 but I’m yet to see it in the flesh.

You read a lot on here and I wouldnt belive it all
what like turning it back into the 75 again? That would be great ! especially if they offered it in a proper stuff composite stock like the McMillan hunter stock copied directly off a 75 stock
That would be brilliant for shooters and would have saved a fortune in re-deigns and spending about two decades fixing what was not broken to reduce their manufacturing costs and turn the cash into recall costs and alterations
The 75 had one slight issue (for some) and for that a simple strip of electrical tape fixed it ( though i dont bother with my two )

Ponder upon it a while.
The ability to fire a single shot, eject, thumb a replacement cartridge into the magazine, or drop it into the chamber, close the bolt and be fully loaded has its attractions.
If I have the issue of not enough rounds in the mag, in my rifles I change from 3 shot aics to 4 shot, or 5 shot or 8 shot or 10 shot magazines.

I don’t.
No, please no ! The dedicated actions are a very big thing , why buy a 223 and have it built on a 30-06 frame with magazine packers ? if i but a smaller cartridge i want the rifle suitably scaled ! if i wanted my 223 to be the size of my 260 rem i would likely just use a longer cartridge than the .223 , likewise why buy 308 if the gun can take 30-06 ?frame wise
The 75 is real easy to drop a mag and slap in a fresh loaded one , looking at shooting as many as i can culling a group i set up ready for a fast mag change before i start , if your scared of loosing a mag put some tape over the mag
What was the issue? (I'm interested in getting a 75)
