This is kind of my question…should that front mount be pushed up as a tight friction fit then nipped/torqued in place with the side screw or should it sit just past the ejection port (as it is currently) im not really sure what difference either would make, nor am I expecting a right/wrong...

Iv had them come loose on my .25-06 previously ! What would you recommend…is it a case of fitting a picatinny rail ?

Evening all. I’m trying to settle something…I was speaking with someone who I genuinely trust and appreciate their opinion, on how to properly fit sako opti lock mounts onto a sako 85 rifle…they said to fit the front mount close to the breech and fully tighten the screw securing it to the...

Don’t suppose you still have this !?

Hi guys iv tried before but just trying my luck again…I’m looking for a stock for my sako 85 long action, but must be left hand inlet…not the standard walnut type, something aftermarket and tactical, ideally a McMillan or something very similar. I appreciate this will be a pre owned so good...

Very good point thank you

I hate to say this as I really don’t wish to offend anyone but I guess that somewhat comes down to price…I’d like a good head that will go well on my wall…(I’d like the carcass too) of course a medal head is the dream…but as I say that depends what the cost is…

Hi guys. Happy new year to all. I’m looking to book a fallow buck stalk for my 30th (March 15th) I have my own rifle, plenty of experience and would like to stalk on foot not from a high seat…ideal in England though Scotland wouldn’t be a problem. If anyone can recommend anyone that would have...

Hi there thanks for your reply unfortunately no…I ended up selling the rifle back to the rfd I purchased it from and I am now awaiting my variation to get another .30-06 this time in the form of another sako 85 ! I did check all screws on the rifle and all were fine there was ample clearance...

Morning all Before I phone my rfd/gmk and ask this question I thought I’d ask here first to see if anyone else has come across this issue and what the procedure was to solve it… For some reason my sako 85 bolt (long action .25-06) is now completely operational when safety is on. Before hand...

Hi all As title suggests I’m looking for any more info on left hand options for a sako 85 stock. I know grs make them (already have one on my tikka t3x) and don’t really want another PSE is a possible option but they don’t Inlet for sako action so would be a ball ache getting it done by a gun...

White tiger is Steve nowacki who I’m currently waiting to hear back from 👍🏻👌🏻

Hi all…I’m looking into a new knife…and as the title suggests I’m looking for something hand forged…not just a blank that’s been treated and shaped with some scales slapped on ! 😆 (not that there’s any thing at all wrong with that) but this has to be a little extra special and I am keen to hear...

Morning all. I’m writing this to see if anyone can sympathise with a few issues iv been having with my anschutz 1782 in .30-06 (left hand action) straight out the box the rifle looks and feels beautiful, and everything you’d expect to see from anschutz. It’s around 6 months old now (got it brand...

Hello all...I’m looking at getting another scope for my “second” deer stalking rifle...(sako 85 .25-06) I’d like to keep under 2k...in that bracket and for the mag I want I’m torn between the Leica fortis, zeiss conquest v6 and the luepold mk5 hd...I’m most drawn to the zeiss at this moment in...
