These rifles of Sako is made for the diehard Sako collectors. A good MaugnumMauser from Golmatics could be done much cheeper...and really better for the fact is a Mauser98, which is much more massive than any Sako M.85. The Sakos however does look nice. Sako has never made a bad gun yet. I have yet to own a nice semisporter rifle in .22-250.
