Rifle destruction test: Sako 85 Carbonlight

Some people look at the new carbon stock material and worry that it will snap. Sako wants to reassure them, so has charged Paul Childerley with trying to destroy one of the Carbonlight rifles.

I don't know if there are other rifles that also might survive these tortures, but this video confirms that this SAKO will. Sako: finest production rifles in the world...period. I own two, and there will eventually be more sharing space in my safe.

[@charliejones5470]

That hurts to watch.

[@CH-kk9oc]

I'm sold.... I don't understand the 27 goobers that gave the video a thumbs down. Well done Sako.

[@TheDominator74]

C H It is a Sako. U don’t need to do the torture to know it is good. They should have given it to me

[@charliejones5470]

I've tried to watch 3 times and just can't seem to finish .They are things you just don't do .

[@Skilpadjie1]

I was running this whole video back and forth to my safe to make sure my Sako 85 and its 22lr sister were still safe. lol

Mooi man.😁

When you need to drag a rifle across the ground so you convince your boss to buy an 8 wheel military vehicle.

[@IMPACTSHOOTING]

Awesome video!!!!

[@jasondoyle6061]

Great film guys! Made a boring concept into a very fun piece.

[@apoint5film743]

Now everyone who buys a new Sako thats not quite up to spec will be wondering 'Is this the one that was on Field Sports Britian?'

😄😄

[@n.peltola]

This is a really high quality gun :D

[@kennethbailey2616]

Christensen Rifles makes a a beautiful carbon fiber wrapped barrel rifle. My daughter-in-law has one in .300 Win that is light as a feather even with a Quigley-Ford scope atop.

[@jackcazaypesca285]

Es increíble todo lo que soporta ese rifle

[@alwaysoutdoors6567]

That's me hooked. I have searched for years for a rifle that could do all of that. The thing is most people know that a rifle will stand up to a good knock about but put a scope on it and you have to be careful.

[@browningmaxus5360]

Put a nightforce on it 😉

[@abowhand]

Can’t afford a Sako so I’m crying !

[@buma8232]

I like the channel, but why put mud and dirt on a rifle with tight tolerances. It should be clear to everyone that the lock is stuck. It's not built for that purpose. I don't understand the test.

[@dominicjohnson8427]

I can’t believe you guys did this to a sako 85! Criminal

Which Sako 85 is more robust the Carbonfiber Stock or the Synthetic Stock?

[@ethanwhitney6168]

@@hypehype1982 For just about any hunting out to 200-300 yards max, .308 seems like the instant choice. Almost no reason for anything else. For me it's different because in Ohio we can't hunt deer with tapered cartridges. Straight-wall only. That Sako still seems like an amazing rifle though and I will definitely put it on my list some day.

[@hypehype1982]

@@ethanwhitney6168 Ah I see I live in Victoria Australia, I normally only hunt Sambar most of the shots I take around 100 or so due to the dense vegetation. I have been able to take reliable shots out to 800 yards with it but not sure if I would ever consider taking deer past 500 with a 308, 500 yards is probably what im able to shoot with confidence of a good shot and of course thats on the prone on the ground with bipod and rear bag not off hand. Well all the best with your hunting adventures.

[@garywalker447]

Like any rifle, don't shoot it if you cannot see through the bore.

[@uncletom2962]

Will it pass Inrange’s mud test?

[@Anschutz270]

So the moral of the story is. Don't tie your $2800 rifle to the back of your truck and run it over then shoot it because it knows better. But if you do it'll still hunt the next day after cleaning.

All of this is good but they have changed the safety and it is not too the better. Please Sako we need a better safety it has to lock the firing pin.

[@HRL0109]

Most of can't afford a Sako so quit your whining.

[@Gixer750pilot]

Sakos 1 MOA test . I thought it was 5 shots not 3 . Show us the last two . Could I’ve gotten a tighter group if the tester learned to follow through rather than snapping around to look at the screen as soon and the rifle went off

[@tapanilofving4741]

He has done it for a living probably 10 years 8 hours a day, but luckily you know better ;)

[@Gixer750pilot]

I was under the impression Sako rifles are 5 shot group tested and tikka was the 3 shot group test . Clearly I do know better since I was coached by two coaches who had 5 Olympic medals between them and I’ve been shooting 26 years . But what do I know ???? Maybe follow through is over rated

[@MrLakeri]

Have to say that that rifle is in bench, where trigger pull will not affect.... love how you need to prove something with your ”experience” with shooting.

These tests are all for show, they make no sense. If you want to test it's strength simply take a sledge hammer to it, but have the decency to show how that same test affects a non-carbon fibre stocked rifle...

[@ThePaultap]

Don't drop a carbonlight!.....if you manage to put a small crack in the pistol grip, neither GMK or Sako will honour the warranty, this I know from experience, ..... this makes this demonstration of the strength of the stock a complete farce!

Well why would they if its not their fault if you drop it? From what ive heard Sako has very good customer service, atleast in Northern Europe.
