Nothing worse that gear failure.
got an A7 with gunworks suppressor coming. cant find anything in the 85 that justifies an extra $1200 other than name snobbery.
Top loading steel detachable mag integral dovetails decent stock.
probably not 1200 bucks better but better.

A7 can be top loaded, dont use mags so that was the main reason why i went for it over a T3. everything else is T3 to A7 levels of change, fuck all.
a7s are better than t3's but not by much.
both fall short of the sako 75s and 85s
they shoot blody well and are a good light hunting rifle tho
well that didnt work out.
5 weeks after being told it was refunded and checking up a number of times to see what was happening. was told the new rifle was ordered in the first week then last week that the refund was still being purchased. just been into the shop and talked to the manager who got the refund sorted in 5 minutes, how long it should have taken on day one. then asked for a full refund as frankly im not interested in dealing with the shop any more after all this.
going to be in auckland in a few days so might pop into reloaders and see what they have floating around. subsequently this has now opened up the second hand market so its all back to square one, again.
Reloaders have wood/blued Sako 85 for $2599 in their latest catalogue, that's coming back down towards what a Sako ought to cost.
you looking at the 2012? $2545 for wood/blue, $2689 wood/shiney in 2013.
2013, I only glanced at it, must have mis-remembered the price. More reasonably priced than they have been in recent years, anyway.
Tikka T3 in 7mm REM MAG w/ optilocks and the rest towards Gunworks suppressor. You will still have enough money for a fly in trip or money to buy reloading gear.
The animals wont know the difference between being shot with a Sako or an $1100 Tikka.
Unless there is 5 of them :D

The A7 is no supermodel either though, stock looks pretty much the same as the Savage Axis/Ruger American/other generic budget plastic rifle of your choice.Quote:

You did quote my post broQuote:

Nice grain in the wood. I don't like the fore end shape or the way the butt dropsQuote:
