swmac Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Hey guys, Should hopefully get a possitive response to my FAC application in the next couple of weeks. Ive applied for a .223 with rifle details to follow. The Sako 85 laminate stainless is what im currently planning to get. What are your thoughts as they are a touch pricey. just wondering if there is anything else out ther that anyone could recomend.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swmac Posted August 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Thanks for the posts guys, Ive tried the Ruger and the Tikka but Sako is still on top. Dazza crackin website, youve had some mixed bags by the looks of things. Anyone else know of anything to top the Sako 85, or anyone who owns an 85 have any comments...

chrisv Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 "Anyone else know of anything to top the Sako 85" Yes, the Sako 75. I know that sounds daft, but apart from the key lock on the 75 bolt there wasn't anything wrong with it! I notice you're in Ireland though so you may not be able to source one too easily (Sportsman are still listing them along with the 85.)
