New sako 85
« on: April 30, 2009, 01:19:49 AM »
Just picked up a new sako 85 stainless synthetic in 338 federal for 725.00. Anyone have any pet loads or input on this rifle/caliber?

 Sounds like a pretty good deal, even though I'm not up on new prices. Was it from a retailer or a private sale? I don't know how that round is doing but with some brass & loading supplies you will be all set. Do you have any hunt intentions with it yet?

Not really just like the gun and wanted a new caliber. A dealer on gunbroker was selling them. I don't know if he has any stainless synthetic 338 federals left but he has them in the gray wolf for the same price. Everyone else is selling the same gun for over 1,000 dollars.
