Classic Deluxe

The Sako 85 Classic Deluxe is a bolt-action rifle chambered in five different calibers.

The Sako 85 is an upgraded Sako 75 with the major difference being the 85 has a straight comb. Like the 75 it, was designed with big game hunting in mind.

Features unique to the Classic Deluxe includes an oil-finished walnut stock with hand cut checkering and pistol grip, and a Rosewood fore-end tip. The Classic Deluxe has a fixed magazine with a hinged floorplate, and it can be loaded through the ejection port, too. It is also equipped with adjustable open sights.

The Sako 85 uses a controlled feeding action, meaning the bolt face actually grabs the rim of the cartridge from the magazine. Controlled feeding prevents the round from falling out of the chamber during cycling. The bolt itself has three locking lugs and they, in turn, provide a user with a 70-degree lift.

The action is made from heat treated steel, a process that leaves the steel hard and durable. Sako categorizes their actions by size such as extra small (XS), small (S), medium (M), large (L), et cetera, and the Classic Deluxe is available with Sako size M and L actions.

As with most Sako 85s, barrel length, overall length, weight and magazine capacity vary depending upon action size.

All Sako 85 rifles share a number of features such as free-floating, cold-hammer forged barrels. Free-floating barrels do not come in direct contact with the stock, meaning stock components do not absorb post-shot recoil.

Hammer forging is a process whereby a mandrel is carefully passed through the bore in order to carve the rifled grooves. This process is known for achieving superior durability and precision. Also, its safety locks both the trigger and the bolt handle. In addition, a bolt release button allows cartridge loading and removal while the safety is engaged.
