SAKO - Catalogue 2021

BOLT Sako 85 bolt body is constructed from forged solid steel blank. One piece bolt body is machined from a blank so that it includes the bolt handle. This uniform construction is extremely rigid and robust. STOCK The ergonomics of Sako 85’s walnut and synthetic stocks are built for an optimal shooting posture. The excellent balance and smooth bolt operation of Sako 85 rifles enable fast, straight and accurate operation. EXTRACTOR & EJECTION The Sako 85 has a famous extractor claw made of durable heat-treated steel. When the bolt forces the case back, the mechanical ejector fork ejects the case out of the rifle. The ejector is at the bottom of the rear bridge, not on the bolt face. TRIGGER The weight of pull of the single-stage Sako 85 trigger unit is adjustable from 1 to 2 kg (2–4 lbs). An optional single- set trigger is available for most Sako 85 models. All Sako 85 rifles have an extremely durable, all-steel trigger guard that protectsthe trigger. An exception to this are the Finnlight and Carbonlight models, which have a lightweight hard- anodized aluminium trigger guard. SAFETY The special two-way Sako safety locks both the trigger and the bolt handle. The unique bolt release button of the Sako Safety System allows you to load or remove a cartridge from the chamber while the safety is engaged. INDIVIDUALLY PERFECT Throughout the brochure, these icons provide you with key technical information at a glance. Most Sako models feature set trigger, open sights and muzzle threading as options. Check availability with your local retailer. BARREL Sako 85 barrels are manufactured with a passion for craftsmanship and the very best knowledge of Sako. Barrel blanks are drilled, honed, cold- hammer forged, finished and finally individually inspected by an optical fine-tuning instrument: the human eye. Twist rates are chosen for each caliber to optimize accuracy and bullet performance. Sako 85 barrels, blued or stainless, have a non-reflecting, satin-like surface – with the exception of the Sako 85 Deluxe and Safari models that have a highly polished finish, and the 85 Finnlight II model that has a weather-resistant Cerakote coating. MAGAZINE The staggered, two-row magazine of the Sako 85 is made of stainless steel. The detachable magazine can also be loaded through the ejection port. The Total Control Latch (patent pending) of the Sako 85 prevents accidental magazine release. ACTION Sako 85 actions come in six different sizes (CSA), providing reliability for each caliber and the very best functions for each cartridge size. All Sako 85 models feature controlled cartridge feed (RCS) to eliminate double feed or cartridge jams. The turn-bolt handle places the hand in a natural position during bolt operation, which allows for rapid repeated firing.
