[QUOTE="scottishkat, post: 1278570, member: 82202"] King Fish the Sako 85 action is one of the nicest actions I have used. They're smooth as silk and the 3 lug design is better than the old style mauser action. The new 6 lug I am not familiar with. I don't particularly care for the stock on the finn light. I have the stainless synthetic 85 which is the same stock as the finn light and replaced it. The finn light has a 22.4"bbl with an 8 twist which I consider a little short for longer shots as velocity and bbl length are connected the model 12 is 22" cant find the twist but its probably an 8. The safety on the 85 is 3 position as is the model 12. The finn light has a stainless bbl which I don't see on the extreme m12. The recoil lug assembly is different on the 85 and some don't like them because of it. Does not seem to affect accuracy in either of my 85's. Sako has been refining rifles for as long as they have been around. In short they're pretty hard to beat. Good luck and shoot straight Bob [/QUOTE]
