Thread: Some help with buying a Sako 85

Hello.

I am new to this forum and also to rifle shooting and I would really appreciate
some help regarding which rifle and calibre to buy for may intended use.

1. I would like to use the rifle for mid-range shooting (up to 300-400 yards) and hunting
small and medium game.

2. Rifle will be also used by my wife who has around 60kg, so I need a calibre
with a reasonable recoil.

3. Can anyone tell me pros and cons of a stainless rifle? For example Sako 85 Laminated
Stainless. Why would/should one choose stainless over non-stainless rifle?

4. Can you recommend a scope for my purpose of a reasonable price?

I am thinking of Sako 85 Classic with 6.5x55SE calibre.
What do ou think?

Thank tou very much for any of your thoughts.
