Our Assessment: As stated on Sako’s website, “The Sako 85 Classic comes with the traditional Sako features: a straight and classing oil-finished walnut stock with a rosewood fore-end and butt; a strong extended recoil lug, fastened inside the fore-end; and an integral tapered scope mount rail on the top of the receiver and free-floating barrel. The classic look and feel enhances the experience of owning one of the world’s most respected rifles.” We couldn’t have said it better! This rifle is a true beauty with practically no wear. It comes in its original serial matching box with a manual and is chambered for 6.5 Creedmoor.
