Sako 85 Finnlight 2 - First Look

[@larrysayers1377]

I had a Sako 85 in 30-06 and I had lots of problems with ejection. Five diff types of ammo and 95% of ejections would fall back into the chamber. All the Sako rep could suggest was put on high rings (like in this vid) or turn my scope so the bottom sits on the right side. I got rid of the gun. I’ll never buy another Sako rifle if the action still has the ejection blade in the 6 o’clock position. At the price point of these rifles there should be no flaws whatsoever.

Love that scope!

Very good review!👍

[@wesleyhobbs9]

I have this rifle in 270 wsm!!! I am considering buying a javelin bipod, but in order to install the bipod you have to remove the front sling swivel stud from the sago rifle, but I have no idea how to remove the stud? Can you help please? Also I need to know what size screw screw information will go into the hole where the stud was so I can know if the bipod will work.

[@Gunroomtv]

The stud is easily removed by putting an Allen key of the correct diameter through the hole and using it as a lever to turn the stud. Don't worry about what size screw you need for the Javlin, they all come with a selection of different ones!

[@wesleyhobbs9]

@@Gunroomtv thank you, I appreciate you getting back to me. I would also like to know if you would recommend getting the regular standard version bipod or the longer one? The longer one is only a few inches difference as it Extend a little bit higher

[@wesleyhobbs9]

I will mostly be doing bench rest shooting with it and then I will pack it with me hunting as well just in case

[@Gunroomtv]

@@wesleyhobbs9 The best option for doing both is this: www.bluefieldsports.co.uk/shop/prohunt-tac-bipod-1118?category=69#attr=74

[@leoblack4663]

what rifle would you recommend as an all round .243 capable for both vermin shooting and target shooting?

[@Gunroomtv]

Tikka T3x Super Varmint or a Remington 700 SPS Tactical, talk to @bluefieldsports on Facebook and they will be able to sort you out!

[@mwnciboo]

Tikka...I literally swear by them! Never seen or heard of anyone with a bad thing to say on them.

[@Eman3037]

What do YOU consider strings of shots (3,4,7,10 rounds ) ?

[@Gunroomtv]

It's a personal choice with regards to the number of rounds fired. A string of rounds would in our opinion be a magazines worth. Being this was a .308 in a sporting barrel, it doesn't take long to heat up, and as stated in the video nor does it take long to cool down. This being a stalking rifle you are not expecting to fire more than 2 rounds at a time. One to kill the animal and the second as a backup in case the first round doesn't hit the mark. Thanks for your question, hope this helps?

@@Gunroomtv Thanks

[@1911geek]

Is this video produce by SAKO company itself if so how are we to pronounce SAkO or is it Sacko who knows make up your mind inform the public please

[@wesleyhobbs9]

The correct way to pronounce it is socko! Even though it is spelled Sako

[@Mikedenton541]

Is the barrel material stainless?

[@Gunroomtv]

There is a stainless option available.

[@Gunroomtv]

@@MrJedi5150 Thanks for clarifying!

[@ARCTERYXSWEATSHOP]

Expensive but wicked

[@Calisse2crisse]

What the hell was that at 2:20? looks like you did not mean to fire and tell yoursef : wtf!!!

[@Gunroomtv]

It's how the video is cut, we remove long pauses in the footage which can make it seem as if he's jerked the trigger.

[@Calisse2crisse]

Gunroom.tv now you mentioned the cut i can see it. Thanks

[@neilsanglingreviews6849]

group sizes????

[@Gunroomtv]

Sub MOA and better!

[@neilsanglingreviews6849]

Gunroom.tv it’s a shame you didn’t show any group sizes

[@carmelorotulo3639]

Why not for target??

[@Gunroomtv]

We found it heats up pretty quickly and the zero shift ever so slightly.

[@carmelorotulo3639]

@@Gunroomtv looking for a high quality long range target rifle. Any suggestions?

[@Gunroomtv]

Carmelo Rotulo Tikka TAC A1 would be a very good choice!

[@stevenh3341]

You just demonstrated how not to use a trigger

[@ChuckBeefOG]

No 7mm?

[@ChuckBeefOG]

Seemed like a really nice moose rifle but they took away the Magnums after they redesigned the gun it looks like. Guess i will have to buy a Kimber 84 Hunter if I want a lightweight magnum for walking for moose.

[@chrispolovich3071]

7mm mag

[@BC_Hunter]

Yes there is

[@zeissOholic]

It's silly to put a large Hubble type scope on such a medium/light weight rifle. Would completely destroy the balance. I have the same rifle incidentally and in .308.

[@Eman3037]

I am a firm believer that you should use whatever works for YOU !! Being critical of someone else's rifle setup IS quite silly ! Enjoy YOUR rifle setup !!

[@zeissOholic]

If that setup works for you then you obviously haven't had much deer hunting experience. I have formed my opinions on such matter after 51 years of deer hunting on the other side of the world to you and I'm entitled to them just like you. I notice you didn't mind voicing yours. I don't think you really thought about what I said rather you concentrated on the PC clap trap angle. I'll repeat what I said in a different way. It's plain stupid to put such a large heavy, high scope, on a trim relatively lightweight rifle. It defeats the whole purpose of such a rifle.

[@Eman3037]

@@zeissOholic Shhhhhhhhh !! That is your opinion and I am entitled to mine. 51 years of deer hunting or not....You sir are a Jackass !! If you are a weakling and don't want to carry a rifle with a larger scope (on any type of rifle) don't, he doesn't mind. Maybe because of where he hunts or because of an eye problem, or he two scopes for that rifle, one a lightweight, low power scope and a larger, more powerful scope for longer range, you don't know all the facts so shhhhhhhhhhh !! I am sure you've been told this before (probably by your wife ) "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all." Shhhhhhhhhhh !!

[@zeissOholic]

Another PC snowflake to rescue. You don't have a clue what you're talking about.

[@zeissOholic]

LMAO, you're a PC liberal right down to your lack of tolerance for criticism of your views. Man up and accept that's what you are. You probably can't help it because you don't have the intellectual capacity to discuss things in a rational manner. Rather, you become enraged and start ad hominem attacks. Have a nice day. LOL.

I have mauser m18 895 euros, and it's almoust same rifle. Only sako cost 2500£ 😂

[@zeissOholic]

DurenHoff - Almost? Not that there's anything wrong with the Mauser M18 but there is a huge difference in quality.

[@johncarl5505]

@@zeissOholic Not really, you can put down a deer with a ruger american rifle offhand at 250 yards. That’s enough performance, idk what the extra 2500 dollars in the sako give. If you are looking to hunt at longer ranges might as well buy a ruger precision rifle. Sorry if I talk about ruger too much, but their quality at such low prices is just too awesome.

[@zeissOholic]

@@johncarl5505 I agree Ruger are good value for money.

[@mwnciboo]

@@johncarl5505 Absolutely true, I wouldn't trash Ruger, but quality wise it's like comparing a Mercedes with a Bentley. Now a Merc, is superb for the money, there are no issues at all - but that extra 1-2% Qualitative difference is noticible in things like the door perfectly weighted hinges - all the little things that add up. SAKO is an heirloom - you will hand it down over the next 100 years and it will be prized. Rugers can be as well, but they will always be functional, not masterpieces.
