Hi,
I'm seriously considering the purchase of a Sako 85 Varmint Laminated rifle in .22-250. Has anyone here had experience with this rifle? Maybe you know someone who owns one? I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to chat with an owner before I plunk down $1700. Thanks in advance for your info and input! I'm all ears.....
 
I have a used/new condition 75 varmint in laminate ss 243 win for sale if interested. its listed in classifies ads and i can email you pictures
 
a) ILyoteKLR, thank you for the offer, but I'm committed to buying a .22-250. I have a .243 & I'm looking to downsize a bit.

b) Smallbore, a question for you, please. When you make use of the settrigger, can you slide your finger or thumb in between the trigger guard and trigger in order to push it forward or do you grasp the trigger by the sides w/ thumb and forefinger to push it forward? I hope that question makes sense.

Many pics I've seen don't seem to show very much space between the guard and trigger to actually allow you to put your finger behind it. Could you enlighten me, please? Thanks!
 
I think that gun comes with or without the trigger option so if you want it make sure when you order it.

I handled one and slid my finger behind, but should have thought about if that was possible with gloves on. Sorry, now you have me wondering too.

Are you aware you can get it now with in a sporter weight with a wood stock & S.S. barrel? Very, very nice!
 
on mine you can fit your thumb behind the trigger to push forward....and you will be very happy with the gun and the set trigger.
 
St Cloud Scheels has a used one for sale 22-250 laminate, heavy barrel stainless, I think it was around 800-900? Looked pretty good? (320)252-9494

That's exactly the one I'm considering. It's heavy (9+ lbs) but I'm not going to let that deter me at this point.

Thanks to EVERYONE for the great info!
