[QUOTE="HarryN, post: 934092, member: 69773"] I don't have any experience with Sako, but I have been reading a lot of reviews on the 85 model, and in particular in 338 Federal. Some interesting things come up: - Even though it is presented as being a controlled action feed, it does not actually appear to be this, sort of a push feed with the end of load cycle being controlled. - At least 2 of the reviewers had guns that had passed the internal Sako 100 yard / 3 shot test, and used the exact recommended ammo, but failed to achieve the 100 yard bench test result on their own Sako rifles in 338 Federal. Nonetheless, they felt the guns shot "well enough" to keep. - Everyone seems to fall in love with the smooth flowing bolt action I generally don't care for the look of laminate stocks (polymers look better to me) but the Sako 85 gray wolf does look appealing to me. The whole thing kind of reminds me of desktop computers. I could build up a custom desktop exactly the way I want it and get better performance, but I can't build my own, better desktop than the price HP sells them for. [/QUOTE]
