Nope, it is a badge, like so many other aspects of stalking.
You'll also get a hardly used secondhand Sako 75 for half the cost of an 85, or an even older model in similar condition because they often change hands when a new model comes out as it is the 'latest'.
Personally, after several custom built rifles including Borden, Sako, Tikka and Remington as well as several factory standard rifles I will now always look for a good secondhand rifle. Because I would rather have the £700 saved in my pocket because in the 'real world' it isn't buying me £700 worth of extra performance or accuracy....
