Thread: Will a Sako 85 barrel fit a Sako 75?

Anyone know for sure whether a Sako 85 barrel would screw straight on to a Sako 75? Looking at rebarrelling and have seen an 85 barrel for sale. I've asked a couple of gunsmiths in the past but the usual response is 'we'd have to have a look'.

Seems to be a question that comes up now and then, which no-one can answer for certain. I understand there may have been a change in threads between the 75 and 85 - hoping someone might know before I spend some money.

Thanks in advance.
