Can a Sako 85 re-barreled ?
« on: January 27, 2011, 05:46:56 AM »
There is nothing wrong with it, but i like shooting it and eventually....
Can the tube be replaced on these? i read that they have an inversed recoil lug.

I'm not familiar with the Sako 85 but almost any rifle can be re-barreled (excepting perhaps the 710 Remington). The recoil lug is a part mounted into the stock which fits into a groove in the action.. It could probably be recreated or simply replace with a captive washer type system as used by the Remington M700..
