Re: SAKO older models?

Quote:
The older models were hand assembled by tradesmen who took pride in there work.
They were also built up to a standard not down to a price.
After owning Sako rifles and pistols for 40 years,I believe I can comment on the difference between them,and as far as I am concerned you can stick the new models where the sun dont shine.

I do not have any experience with the newer {75 and 85} rifles. Tho some aspects of design appear to be attempts at true improvement, "cheapening" is the word I've heard most aptly describes the general direction of SAKO products.
Can somebody...ALAN...elaborate on this? Is what I've heard correct, or are the differences changes that don't appeal merely for aesthetic reasons?
As a great fan of the older actions, I've wondered about the newer ones...
Some fellows here really like them, so I'm curious.
What technical differences, if any, between the older guns and the newer guns make the older ones superior in function, mechanical reliability and accuracy?
