Happy Thanksgiving John to you and your family,Thank you so much for always bringing a smile to my face, and learning about these firearms, I absolutely love the Sako, but I'm from the uk and all I have is Air Rifles lol, but they are fun. All Sub 12ft/lbs, anyway All the Best 👊💯

[@ukm37]

Hello hickok45. Can you please do a video on the older model Taurus model 85?

[@Olympic-vt4ft]

Could do another video on the luger po8?

[@Violalee1965]

Fal vs bar

[@shelbysolko7783]

I wonder what weapons Hickok45 will do next? he outta try out the Astra Defense pistols from Spain as well as for the Llama M82.

[@billberry8240]

I have a sako that I got from my dad, he bought it wene he was in the service in 1955.just a wonderful firearm .thanks for the trip down memory lane .

[@saltrock9642]

I’m sure that rifle is really nice but the dude behind is first class. That was fun, thanks.

[@thunderfan747]

As impressive as Hickok's skills are, has anyone ever tried holding a camera that steady when zoomed in on something that far away? Nice job John!

[@jomo8825]

I can’t hold a camera steady not zoomed in

[@rebirth2969]

It’s called a stabilizer

[@tforaodg]

Of course，if you have been shooting for over 10000 hours, then any skills can be gained

[@nathanwest2304]

@@rebirth2969 I don't think that's all the stabilizer a steady hand propably got more to do with it

4:46 now that was impressive🤘 Finnish rifles never let you down🇫🇮🔥

[@sonnygunz9207]

I like bolt guns with iron sights, it reminds me of simpler times. That pre war Winchester model 70 in 30-06 you have is the cream of the iron sight bolt gun crop IMO. Thanks.

[@HilyahAsSalaf]

Those are my absolute favorite ones

[@jacoklopper4772]

Yes Sir! I have 2 dozen rifles and my favorite is my Sako Bavarian in 30-06. Fits like a glove. They know how to make a rifle that feels like a custom!

[@alexdrake9931]

As always, another great video. It reminds me of my dad. He has an almost " zen-like" relationship with his Sako 270. If you look at his friends, they all must have gotten a deal back then on 270 ammo because they ALL swear by it every year for deer

[@hickok45]

Nope, they just read and heeded the wise words of the great Jack O'connor. :-)

[@alexdrake9931]

@@hickok45 Haha. You are right. Dad said that Jack could do more things with a 130 grain bullet than a surgeon can do with a scalpel. If you would listen to Dad and my grandpa, you would swear that a 270 with a 130 gr bullet has been credited with everything from picking off Tiger Tanks during WW2 to bringing down invading Martian spacecraft to stopping 3 Rhinos on the way to bringing down an elephant ALL WITH ONE SHOT!

[@thunderstruck5484]

Love the speed of the bullet so fast and that bolt action is music to my ears thanks Hickok!

[@danisattar9325]

Wooooo.... I just love this rifle. The look, the built, the sound... All so good

[@OhioGentlemenArms]

Hope the holiday went well for all at the Hickok compound.

[@crusader2112]

Same to you. Peace. ✌🏻

[@bp814]

I love the way the high power cartridges split the two liters where they stand, it kind of looks like a tulip afterwards. I noticed that on another video of yours. I must say I have a 300 win mag that has had the best performance for two liter destruction. Another great video, love that Sako. I'm a model 70 guy.

[@CrimsonSurvival]

Nice rifle…👍🏻

[@archerpiperii2690]

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Hickok. You and John are doing great work, thank you for all that both of you do.

[@jeffcollier9405]

I love my Sako. I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Fit and finish is perfect and it is the most accurate rifle I own.

[@RD-170]

I like how he makes every gun look small, even the full size hunting rifle looks like a .22 plinker in his hands

Hickock, you're a damn good shooter. Age has not slowed you down one bit. My respects.

[@comptondrew769]

Wonderful rifle.. Sako years of craftsmanship and hand built goodness

[@Revheadrev]

He’s a fair shot, ol’ Hickock. Nicely done mate.

[@eddiewatersjr8133]

I just saw a video where hickok hit 100k subs, and he played his first video. It's crazy how far the channel has grown. It was around a million when I found it and over 6 million now.

[@doctauglyd9861]

Hickok chillin he gets paid to chill and shoot stuff all day

[@jeffhreid]

Sako makes such a nice rifle. That action is sooo smooth

[@Flyinglotus25]

Hickok is the Bob Ross of the gun world👌

[@TSGEnt]

Those Sakos are wonderful. I have a Tikka T3 Stainless in 30-06 and it's taken a few hogs. I love it. A Sako 85 would be a great addition. Thanks for sharing.

[@shivamtyagi8008]

As I always say the Grand Daddy Sir Hickok is at his best...........

[@axistec]

Thank you for sharing that "feuer frei" at the range with us Hickok. Have a glorious day.

[@markvanderbeek3292]

Sako = World class quality! unbeatable accuracy in a hunting rifle. I have never met a nay-sayer of Sako rifles.

Notice how the birds don't even stop singing? Even they're like, "Yup, just Hickok45 doin' his thing..."

Man, that thing is straight ferocious!

[@VecchioneSpalata]

Thats one fine rifle. Looks like the cat stole all mine. No worries Mr 45, were all hurting right now.

[@Zooky424]

I can picture Hickok during the zombie apocalypse, chuckling and making little jokes after each headshot lol

[@richd5025]

Always wanted a nice bolt action rifle. I had a cheap Savage in 308.but sold it. Just have to find a place to practice taking 300yd shots.

[@SouthernJaeger]

Beautiful. That is my dream hunting rifle, except I would get it in .243 Winchester. Throw a paracord sling from ten point gear on it, and it’s set to go. .243 Winchester is a great hard hitting flat shooting round and it’ll get the job done on anything. Cheers to you, Hickok!

[@Hialeah1925]

Why not a 6.5x55?

[@SouthernJaeger]

@@Hialeah1925 I love the .243.

[@Hialeah1925]

@@SouthernJaeger I am trying to make a decision between the two. Why do you personally love the .243? What advantages do you think it would have over the 6.5x55?

The wood work on that Sako Bavarian is beautiful. A one of kind. I CAN'T imagine anyone would take it hunting, or any outdoor activity. If it gets a scratch you're going to be upset.

[@joelowery6919]

They're made to hunt!

[@angelaprestwood1351]

added to the collection huh hickok45

[@peterzebot9863]

It looks really warm in Kentucky in November!

[@Saa45MIV]

The tikka t3x super light is my go to hunting rifle chambered in .300 win mag.. i have absolutely nothing bad I can say About it, it is light as a feather, accurate, smooth as glass and completely weather resistant. Taking the price into consideration I believe it is the pretty much the ultimate hunting rifle. You could spend a whole lot more and in my opinion gain not much at all.

[@brucemcmillan8750]

She's a beauty, smooth action, fine trigger🇨🇦

[@jeanmorin3247]

Bravo Monsieur Hickock, ceci nous dit très bien combien cette arme est fiable. Merci!

[@drivesideways6550]

There's something special about not scoping a Rifle, less cumbersome to carry and maneuver, a more durable sighting sighting system, and the added aspect of marksmanship.

[@raulwarrior]

Incredible!! I love this channel, greetings from Brazil!

[@matta8004]

Great video as always, Hickock

[@Ammo08]

I have a Ruger M77 RSI .308 that I just love to hunt with. Probably a perfect rifle. That Sako may be on my next list.

[@larrysayers1377]

Great video. Nice shooting as usual. However it is noticeable the cartridge ejects almost straight up which is failing of the 85. With scope on they have a strong tendency to hit the scope and fall back in action. That is because the ejector blade is at the 6 o’clock position which ejects it straight up. Wouldn’t be surprised if Sako phases out the 85 and moves to the S-20 which has the same 3 lug and extractor but has a plunger ejector.

[@michaelfleming8490]

This guy makes me proud to be an American 🇺🇸

[@Hialeah1925]

I had a look at an 85 in a gunshop - the only gun I've ever picked up with a smoother bolt is a Schultz and Larsen.

[@giuseppecangiamila3395]

Hickok 45 you are an excellent shooter

[@keimolantio]

Sako and Tikka rules!

[@joakimblomqvist7229]

Oooh man, you've got a soft spot for that SAKO!😁 It's in your voice as if you're talking to a kitten. And I don't blame you. I once had a SAKO Vixen .222. It shot sooo tight, no recoil. Only drawback was the light bullet that messed up the roes at high speed. 6,5x55 is a better pick. Very high quality rifles indeed.

[@danielpollard3969]

Beautiful rifle. I have been looking for a new deer rifle .I’ll have to look for one. Life is good.your friend Dan from Jersey.🦅🇺🇸👍
