This video reviews the Sako 85 "Black Bear" rifle in .308 Winchester. The reviewer highlights its premium hunting rifle features and smooth Sako operation. While the rifle is generally well-regarded, the reviewer notes difficulty in achieving the guaranteed MOA at 100 yards with most factory ammunition. However, Lapua 150gr Mega ammunition performed exceptionally well, grouping at .6 inches. The review suggests the Sako 85 Black Bear is a worthwhile consideration for those seeking a high-quality hunting rifle.
The Sako 85 Long Range in .300 Win Mag offers excellent build quality and a smooth action, guaranteed to 1 MOA.
