Sako stopped producing Sako 85?

[norcan]

Hope its no the Sako 100 abomination..

Though I have "read" about a Sako 95.

 

[Klenchblaize]

I’m surprised they haven’t produced their version of this which in one sense is really the future of the hunting rifle?

Sauer 101 Silence GTI | J. P. Sauer & Sohn

Now also available as a left-hand version! Our rifles have impressed generations of hunters across the world for almost three centuries, and now the new Sauer 101 Silence GTI will contribute to this success. This rifle astonishes hunters with its spectacular features such as its laminated wood...

RK-95 TP? would love one of those don't seem them hitting the UK market sadly! LOL.

There is coming a new model which replaces 85.

And there you have the problem with Sako encapsulated in a sentence.
I have jackets that have lasted longer than some of their production runs.

I dread the day they decide to really d*ck about with the T3.

It may not be perfect, but as a reliable, functional tool it’s very hard to beat.

I occasionally toy with the idea of just buying one to have in reserve against the day they go out of production.

one action size for all , already happened

 

[k30lls]

Something else for me to buy and lie about the price

 

[ditchvisitor]

I’ve bought a 85 Carbon Wolf which I bloody love!

 

[User00036]

Nothing you buy next year will be as good as what you buy today. Applies to everything.

 

[One on top of two]

I love my .243 black wolf

 

[antsa]

all will be revealed at SHOT in Vegas

If they have something new my guess is it will probably be released at the IWA trade show in Germany in March.

Cheers

Recon we will find out at IWA, our stand is just across from Beretta in Hall 4A.

genuine question: what don’t you like about it? I thought it looked a nice rifle?

I’ve got an 85 finnlight in 6.5 x 55 and love it, but I liked the look of the 100, particularly the semi modular design

The problem with Sako is that they change the actions and their footprints more often than some people on here change their underwear.
They’re decent rifles but there are virtually no aftermarket accessories available because the market is so fragmented with too many different actions.
Regardless of model, Sako are pretty much break it and dump it rifles because of the lack of off the shelf spares and accessories.
I own one, an 85, but I wouldn’t buy another, just too many variables in the line up.

I mean it’s like they want you to have to buy a new rifle if something breaks…

 

[HonestJohn]

I still think the Sako 75 was the best model

Apart from the Rihiimaki of course

This is the main reason I got rid of my Sako 75 and got a Tikka T3. I miss being able to load the mag through the chamber but that's it.

 

[stubear]

Sako have also stopped making the .25-06 117gn gamehead cartridges, which is a total ****er because my rifle loves them. Oh well!

 

[Klenchblaize]

Imagine a stutzen version of that...

I’m trying to.

Its the future!

A slim elegant moderated barrel encased in a lovely (if garishly coloured) stock.

Seriously a really slim moderated barrel in a stutzen could be fantastic if it all came together properly.

I do like the Sauer. Seems it isn't available in the UK yet though
