Interesting comment.

If you have some spare time . . . . pull up the Owners Manual for the Sako A7 and 85 and take a look at how many spare parts are identical.

Example
- Spare parts for trigger - Art No. S584S210
- Firing Pin - Art No. S5AR0155 - S/S short

Also - recoil pad, bolt release etc.

These may not be the key features that differentiate the A7 from a real Sako but it does make for some interesting reading.

Also note that the A7 and T3 barrels have the same part number - then take a look at the 85 barrels - not identical but gives pause to thought.

Im not going to bite... No Fuck it I am not going to bite!

be carefull of the recoil in them 7mmRM if you are lightly built :P

Looked like a classic stock under arm instead of on shoulder and eye to close to scope.

Does Tikka A7 work for you?

If we really want to be picky, we could say the Sako 75 and 85 aren't 'real Sakos' either!
Ie since Beretta Americanised the company.

Interesting to see that Nokia (pre cell phone days and today's downward death spiral) used to own Sako, when Nokia was expanding out of forestry as their core business.
