    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.

    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.

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