30-06 (Pics)

Post by herb » Mon Feb 18, 2013 12:17 am

Sharing some pics of an old 30-06. It is a Sako 75. A Solid robust rifle in a classic caliber, a little on the heavier side. Sako has replaced it with the newer Model 85 but many people still prefer the older Model 75.

Nice one Herb 85 dont have iron sights and yes heard and read nice things about this rifle ..Baljit owns one in 7 mm I think
Currently only Bavarian has iron sights and its $2000 rifle kind of pricey...

Lovely rifle, Herb. The Sakos I handled had some of the slickest and smoothest actions I know.Almost like the Enfield.

@Navi, many models in the 85 series have iron sights.

I agree but only Bavarian has full complement of calibers Kodiak bear etc are only in two or three limited calibers ...
I go see them every month and these guys let me handle them feel sorry for me in a way...no permission from home minister and I have no choice but this place dont like T3 feel too much...they even fix my shotty for free these days.Wonderful guns but they are so expensive one day a guy walked in purchased $10K plus 416 caliber safari rifle.. doesnt Asif have a Jefferies double in same caliber?

Cheers

About 3.4 kg/7.5 lbs. I have a Winchester pre-64 Model 70 30-06 and I think this feels about the same.
