Thread: "Too pretty to use"

I have a "too pretty to use" left handed Sako 85. It has not been fired and probably won't by me. I just like looking at it.

I think everyone in both camps can appreciate this dedication. Must be a hard thing not to shoot it though.

I have deliberately not put a scope on it in case the temptation gets too great. It's a 243win so would make a pretty good goat rifle and I have another (totally different) rifle that does all the work.

I have seen and handled it and it’s an absolute beauty.

Shearer’s Sako 85 I’m referring to there.
