Sako 85, 300 WSM, Bartlein 2b

[AZ82New]

Hello,

Still clearing out rifles for a build.

This one is a Sako 85, grey wolf stock with a fluted Bartlein 2b barrel, 10 twist. It's chambered in 300 WSM. I have the original factory barrel as well included in the sake. The bartlein is throated longer for monos, the original is as it came from the factory.

The round count is about 150.

It also has a Near rail for the scope mount which I had inletted by my gunsmith so it is easy to feed and extract. Additionally, it has a custom muzzle break done by Randy Selby.

Scope not included, unless you want to make me an offer on a VX5 with a fire dot.

$1,600.

How does it shoot?

It shoots well. I would consider it a 3/4 MOA rifle. It likes the 150 Barnes TTSX at 3,314 fps and the 162 Absolute Hammer at 3,259 fps. It's throated long for the hammers but the Barnes shot a little better. I'm able to run it pretty hot without pressure because of the added freebore.

The factory barrel shot well also but the Bartlein is more consistent. The factory barrel is just regular SAAMI spec reamer.
