Sako lost its way and started building rubbish with the 85

About as silky smooth as a ruger American, for three times the price and half the accuracy.

Love the trigger though.

I heard reports of a superlight Howa model with a carbon-wrapped barrel having not great accuracy.

The first carbon-stocked, conventional steel barrels could be good or bad, depending if you were lucky with the cheap stock or not

I haven't even seen lots of these new models, and no chance of just putting money down and dealing with a dud that takes 4-6 months to even get my hands on.

I have had both the HSL 6.5CM and still have my 308 and can confirm both are tack drivers. Single stack mags that feed like butter and extraction is 100% reliable.

I suspect someone lost there job at Beretta when that video went viral. Fancy selling a rifle for $3.5K and not making sure that it extract and feeds before it leaves the factory

absolutely agree . i bought two long action 85's, 270 win and 9.3x62 . great quality, very accurate. but both of them ejected at a high angle , hitting the scope turret and having the case fall back into the action . having to turn my leupold scopes 90 degrees to the left solved the problem , after that very reliable . i know someone will say their 308/223 sako ejects just fine , but this is a known issue with many gunsmiths . sako went to a three lug bolt, moved the ejector to a much lower position in the receiver resulting in a higher ejection angle . basic physics.

why they just didn't tweak the early L461, L61 series, making stainless versions, removable mag, and the lovely ergonomics of the 85 stock, and leave it as a two lug baffles me. if it ain't broke don't fix it . i pass by sako's and get tikkas now
