Others will say yes, but I don't think so
Both my 85's, One Finn and one Wood Blue are very accurate and lighter than the equivalent 75.Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

I still own both and vietnamcam is correct, but both models are still very very nice rifles with high resale value

On the same track but different; does anyone know if all Sako 85 barrels have the same thread on them? So can be screwed straight on?
A 243 to a 308 for instance? Same bolt and design.?
I know they have the same action length.
Cheers.Dan M

They should be yes tho headspace should be checked with Sako quality I would be surprised if it was out significantly.
