[QUOTE="catorres1, post: 1004273, member: 80699"] One thing I forgot about the Sako's...they run a 1/11 twist as opposed to 1/10 on most other 300's that I see. As I am more a heavy bullet guy, I wonder if that is a very good idea? Editing this as I found this on a post here from last year....for me, that makes the A7 not a good idea, I imagine it's the same for the 85.. [B]"Due to the short magazine length, COAL is limited to about 3.325" which is a little shorter the the book max length of 3.340". You can't reach the rifling with your handloads and still load in the magazine. This rifle will not accommodate long bullets but 185 gr. Berger's fit fine. The 26" barrel is fluted and in a varmint type contour. Twist is 11:1 which is in keeping with the short mag length and is designed for bullets in the 180 grain range. "[/B] [/QUOTE]
