[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 387287, member: 11717"] Parker, it should say on your action what type it is like Feenix showed. i.e., mine says SAKO 85 SM, so it's a model 85 Short Magnum. I agree with the others. Dont mess with too much with a Sako. Keep the same boltface and basic cartridge. The 280 AI would be my choice to boost the range and thump. You could also go with a 30-280AI if you want to shoot the 30 cal bullets and it would be close to a 300 WSM and you could fire form Lapua .06 brass. A little more for dies, etc. Having said that, in the M85, the recoil lug system is a joke, and if you have the same deal, I would keep it as a 25-06. The less recoil the better. JM $.02, and good shooting, -Mark [/QUOTE]
