The Sako 85s come standard with a detachable magazine. The 7mm holds 4 plus 1 in the chamber.
S = short action (.243, 7mm-08 etc...)
SM = (win) short magnum
L = full length (300win, 7mm rem etc...)
SAKO website "S and M models available also with short barrel with thread (calibers 338 Federal, 8x57IS, 9.3x62 and 9.3x66 M15x1, other calibers M14x1) at the muzzle for muzzle brake or suppressor assembling."
I assume this would be the MT designation on their spec sheet.
Have a look at this link if you haven't already.

Excellent choice of gun & manufacturer, however if any of your friends/family have a 7mm I would suggest shooting a few shells through it first to get a feel for the cartridge. The 7mm is an awesome caliber, however if you haven't shot a lot of high power it may not be the best starting point for you.
