the day finally came

[AZZA'S HJ47]

So after the longest wait on Saturday i finally picked up my rifle and a few other goodies. I would have gone out to the range however scope rings weren't in stock so ill have to wait a week to see them. But im happy i finally have something in my safe

Was kinda cool that i got the call on my birthday to tell me it was there to be picked up.

What is it?

What is it?

Looks like a Remington 700 CDL SF

[happyhunter]

Doesn't look like a Remington.

Happy Birthday to you and your Sako 85 Hunter. Many more to come. So you decided on the fluted barrel after all? 243 or 308?

Close there mate it's a Sako 85 varmint in .243 I'm itching to get out to the range and have a shoot however I'm waiting on Qld Gun exchange to get some bases and rings in for me have waited a week I'm a little cheesed off about that but what can I do I have paid for it and that is the last piece of the puzzle. Had a look at a gun shop at Jimboomba the other day the dude had like 3-4 different sets of the stainless Optilock rings and bases. But as I said already paid for hopefully see next weekend.

[Blackened]

Very nice Azza.

Enjoy it.

[Die Judicii]

Yes,,,,, VERY nice.

Now what delectable piece of optics have you chosen to compliment the bit that goes Bang ???

[RDobber]

Nice rifle and chambering

Did you order 'sight unseen" ?

That's a very handsome Model 85; a LOT BETTER than average.

[AZZA'S HJ47]

I did order sight unseen was set on the sako for the last 6 months. I was told that the stocks as of late from sako have been lighter in colour however look better than most of the offerings from the previous year. Like i said im happy

[AZZA'S HJ47]

ended up going for a Leica 3-15=56 ER scope the clarity out of it is great was really impressed with it price wasn't too bad either.
