ronan nee Posted July 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 I think you have the model name/number confused. If it is a new gun, it will either be a 75 or 85, you are I think reading the action size labelled on the side of the action although it should be an action III for 243. my thoughts exactly fister, but no its neither a 75 or 85 and it is 110% action II but watch this space. will get photos tomorrow oh and its second hand regards ronan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sako7mm Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Ronan, I have two A2's. (Sako used roman numerals, so the action states 'AII') I really like them. I have 75's as well, but I prefer the earlier 2 lug actions of the A - series rifles. My 243 is a sporter weight model and is currently at Border for a new barrel. It handles very well- light enough to carry, but still accurate. The other AII I have is currently a 22/250 Varmint, but will soon become a 20-250 wildcat. Fister, the A series Sakos were made from the early 80's (1982, I think) and are identical to the earlier L579, L461 etc series of actions. A1's were for 222, 223 and 17 Rem, AII actions for 243, 22/250, 308 etc and AV for 30-06, 270 etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mry716 Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 And probably the best rifle Sako has made. Although I havent tried the 85s yet. Buy it as you will not be dissapointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sako7mm Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Ronan, you're welcome. If you find the Sako Collectors Club message board on MSN, someone on there will give you a year of manufacture from the serial number. Get hold of a copy of 'Bolt Action Rifles' by Frank De Haas, you'll get pretty much all the Sako info you need there. mry's advice is good- get it bought!
