Sako 85 Grizzly 30-06

I really love the rifle. It shoots amazing with Lapua Mega 185. It has 1" Leupold direct rings and a spare magazine.
Pictures dont do her justice. I have, on order, an OSUMA Aimpoint mount from optic trade that I can include for $100.
Scope not included.
Ships CONUS $2500

The irons on those are great. Perfect PG rifle

Front site is a globe, for sure.
OPTIC TRADER sent an email yesterday that the OSUMA Aimpoint mount in in route.

Is this considered push feed, CRF, or something completely different?

 

[noafrica4me]

A bit of both....
SAKO says CRF.... Others say push.
Whatever it is, it works.

The Sako 85 has a short, rotating extractor. The bolt face does not have a lower lip, allowing the cartridge rim to slide up under the extractor during feeding, just like CRF actions that have long, non rotating extractors.

So, while it does not have a Mauser style extractor, it feeds the same and can be considered CRF. However, it obviously doesn't have the same extraction "strength" of the Mauser style.

Outstanding description.
As to the trade offers I have received...
I really would only be interested in a 90 Bavarian that's threaded. Either 308 or 30-06.
My days of hunting without a suppressor are over. The amount of suburban encroachment has me wanting to be as low impact as possible in the remaining spots I have to hunt.
I sincerely appreciate the offers, though.

Do you have any selling references on AH? Would this ship private seller to FFL or FFL to FFL?

 

[noafrica4me]

I'm an FFL.
I have 500+ A+ in GunBroker.
I'm on campfire as RINGWORM.
I have only sold two things here.

With the short stout barrel the rifle has.

I’m sure you could trim the length of the front sight base length. Then have the barrel threaded. You would have to nice short suppressed rifle

 

[noafrica4me]

If I had a competent local gunsmith I would opt for that. However, it's going be much easier to sell this and get a 90 that's already threaded.

 

[Altitude sickness]

True

To clarify, I'll ship rifle in a hard case. FFL to FFL.
I ordered her successor yesterday, 505 in 06.
