Talking New gun finally arrived!!!



Well my new Sako 85 S/S 30-06 arrived, just like being a little boy at Christmas.

First impression is that it is very nice and well made. The action is extremely smooth and shoulders very nice. Some had issues with the new stock design but I really like it and wouldn't trade it for the 75 version. Can't wait to get out and use it now.

Default Worthless with out pics

Here's one of my pet peeves, those rail cars with that U W O Pics slogan, if ya need to see what a new Sako 85 looks like go to the Sako site and have a look.

must be a pet peeve for those that dont know how to use a photo hosting website

sorry you feel that way FS, the rifle may look the same as in a website, but the way a person rigs it up with a scope bipod, etc etc, can vary in a big way.

I gotta agree with NDN, would rather see pics of the actual rifle than just the manufacturers stock photo.

I gotta agree with NDN on that one! If my 'Big Mac' looked like the ones in their commercials I'd weigh about 900 lbs right about now!!
