[QUOTE="amce, post: 930166, member: 36750"] I have three Sako 85s - a blued walnut Hunter in.308 Win, a blued walnut heavy barrel Varmint in .223 Rem and a stainless Varmint in .260 Rem. They all shoot better than 0.5 MOA with my hand loads and I've done better than 0.25 MOA @ 100 metres when [I]I'm[/I] really on the ball. And this is out-of-the-box. As others have witnessed the triggers are a dream, the bolts are as smooth as butter and the magazines - I'm lost for words. Of course I'm biased but with these rifles I have every reason to be that. :) Sakos are highly regarded in Europe where I live at the moment. Action lengths are calibre specific and the Hunter is now available as a lefty in a large range of calibre's. They are a premium product and if you're interested then get to a dealer and handle a few. If the rifle doesn't fit [I]you[/I] then it doesn't matter how good it is. Of course every manufacturer has lemons, some more than others, but these issues can most certainly be resolved. I know for a fact that Beretta Aus has an exemplary CS and Australia is the world's second largest importer (after the US) of Sako and Tikka rifles. If Beretta US customer service is lacking then this is unfortunate and they should get their act together. BTW, I happened to read on the Finnish Broadcasting Company's website last week that the Sako factory put out 100 000 Sakos and Tikkas last year and are expanding the factory with a goal of 120 000 for 2014.
