Yep the 100 is a very specialised rifle that has been made for the European market. Over there some countries limit the number of rifles they are allowed to own, hence why multi barrel rifles are so popular. Downside is that it requires more metal in the mounting surfaces etc, which adds to the weight. However most of the hunting over there is from tree stands and vehicles, so they don’t worry too much about the weight side of it.
They are beautifully engineered guns and we do have a lot of pre orders here in NZ. The things just need to turn up!!!

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

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

90 is the same weight range as 85 and in nz we have been able to maintain the same price.

Carbonlight (now called Peak) starts at 2.6kg and the changes are as follows:

New bolt with improved extraction/ejection
New trigger unit
Built in pic rail
New stock (no more dura touch) it feels like a very light sand paper impregnated into it

Is this to cure all the design input from when Sako was sold. LOL.
