Thread: Sako Model 100

Has any one seen or got any info on the new Sako Model 100 ?

https://www.all4shooters.com/en/hunt...euros%20approx.

Looks very expensive , i dont like it but thats me .

Strange. I had a dream last night about getting one of these and cutting the barrel to 16” and swiss cheesing every bit of it to make a light rifle.

More practically, I wonder if it is just one size action from 308 to 300WinMag or will it come in exact proportions like the 85 ?

A very spendy walking stick count me out!

I see the Sako Model 90 is replacing the 85 I hope they fixed that dam ejection problem of the 75 & 85 !

Yes they have. Every unit I have shot has spit the ammo so far horizontally to the right it’s not even funny.

shot the 90 at a beretta dealer event a few months ago, shot great, kinda just marketing and for the the price of the rifle i could put a carbon stock on a tikka and have 3,4k to spend on scope

It’s very hit and miss. It very much depends on calibre, rings scope etc.

90 will come in .223 later on. S, M and L action sizes first

push feed instead of controlled pretty sure its a new action all together so should be improved/different

Yeah my 85 for 270 win (308 win is ok though) has ejection issue since I mounted both scopes with X Low Optilock.

I heard mounting higher ring might resolve the 270 issue. Anyone knows which height is enough to prevent 270 brass hitting the scope?

Hope 100 and 90 resolve this issue

My configurations must have just worked as have had 7 rm 85 finnlight and carbonlight .260 85 carbonlight .270 85 barvarian 6 5x55 85 hunter and 270wsm 75 finnlight all worked well the 75 was the worst the 85s were brilliant

Got a 75 in 243. You might need to polish your rails. Never had any issues with it.
