Ah, no.
Exactly the same barrel and equal if not better accuracy.

The budget version in every other way except the barrel.

Largely aesthetics. The functionality is still up there, the value more so.
We'll hafta agree to differ then

PS. I own a Sako as well.

Lol you tried to prove that to me by sending a video of Phil's one working perfectly and it was clunky as shit and dropped a round in the action haha

Phil is not a normal person though we are aware of that.
The point I was making having had God knows how many sakos ( probably more than Buzz) is I've never ever had one not eject, not once.

Did you mean erection Ryan?

I bought a new 85 Bavarian year before last. Spent cases would hit the windage turret on the way out, with vigorous ejection. But never had any cases fall back into the action, so I wasn’t concerned.

I had this with an a7 7RM, hit vx6hd windage and fell back into action every time, sako bolt heads are a design flaw, I have this documented on my invoice by Robbie tiffen from Gunworks to… my 85 708 has weak extraction sometimes dribbles out but doesn’t bother me really. Hence why I’m not doing a semi custom on a tikka and not a sako… was told from beretta to that it’s the diameter of the windage turret and not their design, they don’t want a bar of it and suggested I mount the scope a foot high off the action, surprise surprise there!

While it's a proven issue iv had 2x 7rm a .270 and a .260 that all worked swimmingly all 85s

Both my 85s have been faultless. Both have low optilock ring mounts. One wears a fairly bulky vx6, no problems..
