    Just picture a newish Finnlite with a big Gunworks can on the end of it. Now point it at Auckland and pull the trigger. Ul hit Tasmania.

    @Tribrit all good, although if the bore was good and you got it cheap enough, you could chuck some coin at it and get @Double Shot to ceracoat it. Make it look mint then.

    Just happen to have a T3 stainless 25/06 barrel, threaded, full factory length( 22.5"), accurate. Plenty of good factory ammo available.

    Cheers for the advice fellas. I decided to just bite the bullet (so to speak).
    Drove to Gunworks this morning.
    Rifle is being rechambered by Robbie Tiffen to 30/06 and fitted with a 24 inch Shilen Select Match barrel and a muzzle brake.

    Should be good

    take a look at the NZ Repeating Co website for the Criterion T3 prefit barrels as they will fit the Sako 85. Criterion are Kreuger button rifled barrels
