Sako 85 M .270 – Used

The Sako 85 M Hunter in .270 Winchester is a premium bolt-action rifle designed for hunters who value both form and function. Built on the medium-length action (M), this rifle is tailored for traditional, flat-shooting cartridges like the .270 Win—ideal for deer, antelope, and similar game species thanks to its long-range accuracy and manageable recoil.

Featuring a cold hammer-forged, free-floating 570 mm (22.4”) barrel, the Sako 85 Hunter delivers excellent accuracy and consistency shot after shot. The barrel is factory-threaded (14×1) to accommodate a sound moderator or muzzle brake, and the rifle you’re referring to includes a moderator—an excellent addition for reducing muzzle blast and recoil in the field.

The beautifully grained oil-finished walnut stock includes a Monte Carlo cheekpiece, classic checkering, and a comfortable palm swell. The ergonomic profile ensures a solid grip and a natural point of aim. Integrated into the forend is a fold-out bipod, providing instant stability for prone or supported shooting without affecting the rifle’s sleek lines when stowed.

Internally, the Sako 85 action is known for its precision-machined, three-lug bolt, offering a short 70° bolt throw for fast cycling. The controlled round feed and mechanical ejector contribute to the rifle’s outstanding reliability—particularly important in demanding field conditions.

The rifle features a single-stage, adjustable trigger, typically set at around 2 kg (4.4 lbs), with a crisp, predictable break. A detachable steel magazine holds 5 rounds and includes a unique locking mechanism that prevents accidental release while still allowing quick changes when needed.

With its solid stainless-steel construction, refined woodwork, integrated accessories like the moderator and fold-out stand, and renowned Sako precision, the Sako 85 M Hunter in .270 Win is a top-tier choice for hunters seeking all-day performance and enduring craftsmanship.
