[QUOTE="barreltwister, post: 258657, member: 14826"] A couple things.....not sure what you mean by "older model"......the Sako 85 was introduced in 2006....and it was never referred to as the Finnbear...what you bought is probably an AV(five)..a great Sako model that was discontinued in the 90's when the Model 75 was introduced. Assuming your "7mm" is a 7mm Remington Magnum it'll take deer at 400 yards with little trouble...other than hitting them. There are many factory loads worth trying. If reloading, I'd try a good 140gr bullet with a slow burning powder like Rel22 or H4831. [/QUOTE]
