Many decades ago I purchased a new Sako Finnbear with Mannlicher stock in 7mm Mag with serial number 00059 (I'm not sure on how many leading zeros). I worked in the wilderness areas of MT and WY for my career. I also worked off season as a hunting guide on occasion. As a carbine length rifle it was great for carrying as a saddle rifle. Took a number of deer and elk with that rifle. I ended up selling the rifle when I was a graduate student, but of course I've missed that rifle.
When will Beretta Australia help Aussie hunters/shooters keep the recreation/sport alive? There is quite a bit going on atm with regard to restrictions of calibres and banning of certain hunting across our country. I would love to see big companies like yourself help rally against the left wing parties wanting to crush hunting and firearms in this country. If you support us we can support you!
I enjoy rimfire shooting just for my own R&R I have a SAKO Finnfire II Hunter (which I intend taking to the range today) I would like to see more videos on the SAKO line of rimfire rifles. This video on 'The Ultimate Bolt Action Rifle..." was most enjoyable and informative, Thank You!
So now Sako admits that the rifle ejected cases into the scope but allowed that problem to continue all those years at the expense of their customers? That was a real problem for some people, depending on caliber and scope, and I think it's unacceptable it was allowed to continue. I badly wanted a Sako 85 but was worried about getting a problematic one so I never got one.
Love the new action it looks like it will suit hunters really well! And I love having an action designed for each caliber length. it has always made Sako a standout action choice. The Pic Rail system is the perfect mounting choice, Bravo! I only have experience in North America, but I can tell you that in my 45 years of hunting it has changed especially in the Midwest. Bow-Hunting is more popular than ever, and with that the Treestand has become the primary method of hunting. We use to build them ourselves. Now they are bought and hung, or leaned up against tree's. Allowing higher and higher placement. Box Blinds are gaining ground now also. I have 4 myself, and the limited space in these blinds can be an issue. Pop up tent blinds are also becoming very popular. All of these methods of hunting have really yet to be addressed in new rifle designs. As we hunt with rifles designed to be quick to the shoulder for guys with their feet on the ground. When hunting from a blind or tent, a compact rifle is a game changer, and when climbing into a tree it is a real asset also. Pulling a rifle up into a tree, and lowering it down is a pain, can be noisy, or damage a scope in the dark. It's much easier to climb with a slung rifle. Full length rifles can't be slung as you enter or exit a small blind doors either. A compact rifle that can be slung across the back is a real advantage. On your back the properly slung rifle protects the scope, so long as the rifle does not hang out above or below your core. That Sako 90 Adventure with a 20" or shorter barrel and a folding stock could be the ultimate Whitetail Rifle for the American Hunter. If you could make that with a simple yet solid folding stock (non-adjustable) set up for a 32-40mm scope alignment height with proper rings, it would be fantastic. A compact Rifle that you can walk into a blind door or opening with slung across your back muzzle down, or climb a ladder with would be a game changer. Then a quick locking of the stock into place and load the gun, to be ready to hunt. A folding stock is also great to get in and out of the truck on the trip to and from the woods, or while using an Boat, Canoe, ATV or UTV to get to the hunting area. But so far all the good folding stocks are set up in a complicated way for target shooting, or work off a bench. Not a simple hunting stock. We also need short barrel options. When you have several window's to shoot game from the rifle is setting at your side, ready for the opportunity, but the windows are just a couple feet from you. So long barrels are very difficult to pull past or under your shoulder to get the barrel out. 16", 18" or 20" barrels are much more popular just for that reason. And with a Suppressor attached those short barrels are needed in almost all hunting. Forget trying to put a 24" barreled rifle out a window with a foot of Suppressor hanging off then end. Let alone walking in thick woodlands with it, we are back to the 30+ inch musket length of rifles of WW1 and prior. Thanks for the opportunity to vent my frustrations, and hopes for a new design.
@@fjb4932 No they have a few action lengths, and often the cartridges don't fit. It is ridiculous in a world where even one man shops can offer a multitude of choices that the majors don't, because it is so easy to run changes in CNC, CAD environments. If actions were offered for each caliber they would be sized for that cartridge only, and probably even certain uses eventually. So the bullet for a mountain or brush hunter, might be different and the action, or at least the chambering for, say a 308 could be different for every model.
I am in the opposite camp on barrel length. I shoot a 72 inch longbow out of a stand with no difficulty, while some guys go out and buy the 28 inch compound because it is so much better than the 30. Nonsense. That said, I do agree with the idea that suppressors are game changers for barrel length, though I would argue for integrated platforms. That may not work in the US until the laws are made sensible. But if you go super short in barrels, you just have that much more blast to control.
@@mickocallaghan4896 Hey can you load long 230 grain bullets in the trg 300 wm and still fit them in the magazine? If so what velocity can you get? Thanks
I think the ejection issue is blown out of proportion with the 85. I have two with XS and L-size receivers, and the scopes sit very low on both of them. I've never encountered a single problem with ejection, and all the brass is never dented. The new model seems like a step in the right direction, except for the ejection. Other features are neat. I adore the bolt/receiver design of the 75 and 85, though. Nothing on the market fits my taste now, so everything is a compromise. Sadly, I dislike the styling of the 100. I wish SAKO just kept making the 75. That rifle was perfect.
I have an 85 synthetic black 30-06 with Sako scope rings and the spent cases eject right into the scope. I even added a pic rail from near manufacturing to see if it would help deflect the cases away from the scope but no luck. I have to slowly run the bolt and grab the case out of the ejection port if I want to avoid hitting the scope. Im soured on this gun but I can’t sell it because I don’t want to sell it without disclosing the issue and as soon as I say what it does, the potential buyer won’t want it.
Agreed. I had an 85 Bavarian in 25-06 and its ejection was perfect. Although if I did it too hard the case would fling out so fast the case mouth would hit the back of the receiver lol
I have the 85 long range in 338LM. But I hade no issues with extracting the big cases. But the sako 90 improvement is probably a very good idea. I want a sako 90 small receiver instead of my howa mini in 6.5grendel 🙏 But these initial caliber offerings are just the beginning. Hyvää ❤

I own a Sako 85 SS Finnlight in 260 Remington with a fluted short barrel. After owning the rifle for 2 years and using it for one hunting season, the stock began decomposing and becoming VERY sticky. Beretta is apparently the parent company and I have contacted them numerous times about the decomposing stock. They refuse to do anything to rectify the issue that makes the rifle non usable as everything sticks to it. One would think that paying over $1900 US dollars just for the rifle, it would be a lifetime investment. The rifle is a good rifle...the stock makes it useless. I could NEVER recommend a Sako rifle to anyone as they DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT!
Recently shot my mates suppressed 30-06 Sako 85 with a vortex viper. It is such a beautiful rifle. Personally I prefer synthetic stocks though, I'd hate to scuff that wooden stock while in the bush. The 90 in 300wm might be on my list.
Has the 90 series addressed the ejection complaints widely reported with the 85 series, and has the synthetic stock surface been changed to prevent the deteriorating sticky stocks of the 85s?
I had a Sako 85 in 30-06 that I bought in Sept 2022. Quality rifle except the noted ejection issue. Stoeger Canada suggested I get higher rings or turn my current scope a 1/4 turn so the bottom is on the right side. Useless suggestions. Put in a stronger spring that holds the claw extractor but didn’t help. Still ejected straight up into the bottom of the scope. Got rid of it and got a Bergara instead. Surprisingly the action is smoother than than the Sako and it’s just as accurate. I tell all my hunting buddies the issues I had with that gun and tell them if they want to roll the dice on a $2300 gun, like I did, then go ahead. But I’ll never get another 85 again.
The 85 ejection issue was due to the extractor claw. They used the same extractor across all actions. The case head wasn't gripped properly due to being different sizes.
Hope it will together with Sako 100 be much more better than S 20. But why don't you offer it in some of more traditional European calibers like 7x64, 8x57 and 9.3x62?
I wish the A7 roughtech series had longer box magazines for us reloading ammo. My bullets jump 1/4" before touching the lands. If you reload, check beforehand before you buy.
I was waiting for a model 90 for a while. Never liked proprietary mounts and ejection on m85 was not perfect. I hope Sako can compete with the Fierce Edge rifle price (and Antler Arms in Canada), if not all the synthetic models will be a tough sell. Pet peeve of mine: thread cap on the barrel cannot be bigger than the barrel, it is so ugly (no I don't hunt with a muzzle brake on std calibers).
These rifles look very good, and I am certain that the quality of workmanship is top notch, but you lost me at "pushfeed action" - I had hoped for CRF.
I am with you on that. CRF made with todays technology is a zero compromise situations. Used to be hard to blueprint one if you wanted the very best accuracy, compared to tube in tube actions like the 700. Totally irrelevant in todays CNC actions where any shape can be made to the highest accuracy. Ross Seyfried did a good article on push feed though, for his 416 guide rifle. And he made some points I had not thought of and made my mind more open to them. However, I don't think most push feed rifles are made as though they might need to help you get out of a fight. And if I have my choice, I want a rifle that knows judo, rather than one whose hobby is macrame.
Good afternoon, I have a Sako S20 Hunter, I have a problem with the magazine not feeding a cartridge. The store is prompted to the bottom of the shutter cannot hook the cartridge. Please help me what to do.
Hi..r u from USA my friend? Asking because no news about this wonderful swich caliber rifles about it's availability here in the USA...neither on the sako website nor on the Beretta website. Any idea my friend?? Would be glad to know where you placed the order. Thank you so much.💐
@@SUNNY-1567 No not from USA, sorry i cant help you. Hope Sako will give you more info in future. Im a Finn so Sako is no-brainer option to me. Still there is long delivery time even in Finland. Demand is high.
It's okk my friend. Luckily sooon after I asked you I found the dealer in USA. Thanks anyways.👍🙂. But have the Sako started delivering the Sako 100 in switch calibers?
Can you top feed a single round into the chamber without pushing it into the clip??? eg. single round feed by setting the round in the feed chamber and cycling the bolt forward??
If I was to buy a new rifle today, It would be the Mauser M18. $2000 quality and accuracy on an $800 rifle. If I was to buy a nice used hunting rifle, one I would call beautiful but affordable, I would look for a 1970s Brno or Mannlicher. I think Sako has lost its way somehow. It sits in limbo between cheap and excellent.
My guess is that They are cranking out 308 and the other top selling hunting calibers. We will have to wait for the special ones until the tooling is paid for. I hope it is successful. The 223 can not be far behind.
I'd like to purchase a Sake 90 Hunter Stainless but I don't see them available in the USA and I've been told by dealers that they are not able to order them. But I see them in stock in many countries. Is there any way to order one in the USA? As a custom rifle or to be imported from a country where they are available? Sako, please make all the models available in USA! Thanks.
Completely agree. I own 4 Finnwolfs! Short throw lever action and accurate.Two setup for hunting in each caliber w scopes 243 win and 308 win. Also, own a limited edition matched pair(one of 500 I believe) and never fired. One in each caliber 243 and 308. immaculate condition safe queens we searched for years to find. Totally worth it after we had two for hunting use. Sold three others in order to buy the limted edition matched pair! Anyone else lucky enough to see the special pairs? Not bragging, just fortunate to just see them at all.I do believe they were some of the last ones ever made but not positive. Don't care for 85's....like my finnbear of early 70's bolt action 243. Thinking about a Tikka strongly in varmint style and caliber. Thanks guys for your input!
Sako should get someone with natural opinion to review the new rifle. That sells very well. This guy is stiff and nervous so in a viewer point of view I wouldn’t buy it. Be natural, be humble and most importantly be honest because Sako is a great brand.
Guys, as a new potential customer let me share. In your videos I want to see far less video of your sales staff and far more of your product. I am moving on from your video because I am bored. You prob have a good rifle but there are hundreds of rifles that are good. I don’t want video of your sales people. Looking forward to your next try.
It seems to me sako made the 100 which is hideous. Then turned the 85 into a T3X more than anything for triple the price and called the 90. There was nothing wrong with the 85 apart from the manufacturing quality went out the window for a while. It’s a shame.
I won't ever buy anything made by Sako after my Tika T 3 busted the bolt on lifting the bolt handle then having to deal with the Sako Importer Beretta and Rick Gump the asshole! I now use CZ 550 in 9.3x62 Mauser for my Alaskan brown bear guide gun and an AR 10 in 375 WSM I built myself.
Hunting and killing an animal and saying "Enjoy Nature.....be one with it" seems to me to be contradictory. I for one love and enjoy nature. I do target shooting and my passion is wildlife and landscape photography........I find it way more challenging to capture beautiful images of animals than to shoot them.
Hunting is a part of nature. Nature isn't only beautiful, it's gray. Things like cancers and hurricanes are part of nature, and hunting is employed by all meat eater species on earth. Thinking nature is "Oooh look at the pretty flowers and like uhh... The waterfall!" is a very childish worldview.
I've had US made Marlin, remington, ruger and savage rifles. My honest opinion is, they are trash in terms of quality control compared to something like Sako, Tikka or other european gun manufacturers like Blaser or Sauer. US made guns are like the Chinese knock off crap you buy from Temu. A good design but very bad quality and absolutely no quality control. US market is problematic because in US ,everyone can buy a hunting rifle, then use it to just shoot beer cans at 200 yards, and occasional deer once a year and call it a superb rifle. It's a different thing here in Europe where it takes great amount of time and money to acquire a gun licence and when we get one, we want a quality product that will last centuries and more.
It was nice owning 2x 85's with sticky stocks,ejection issues & optiflops but now sako are pricing themselves out of the market for nothing new really. Custom builds can be had for less ... Pass.
Many decades ago I purchased a new Sako Finnbear with Mannlicher stock in 7mm Mag with serial number 00059 (I'm not sure on how many leading zeros).

My Finnlight II is my favorite rifle. It's comfortable and just works well.
I have the Finnlight 1 in 300wsm and it shoots 1/2” inch groups with several factory loads! My main hunting rifle too!
I love Sako and Tikka rifles and have many in my collection.
When will Beretta Australia help Aussie hunters/shooters keep the recreation/sport alive?

Too bad Sako rifles are a rarity in my area. I'd love to pick up a Sako 85 Bavarian.

The verbal description sounds much the same as the 85. Would be good to see the changes specifically identified.

The 85 ejection issue was due to the extractor claw. They used the same extractor across all actions. The case head wasn't gripped properly due to being different sizes.
And what happend with left handed shooters? Nobody think about us!
Sako TRG is the most accurate rifle I've every owned.

Are your picatinny rails spaced properly, as if it was a continuous rail?
Already own iterations of .350 Legend, Does Sako plan to produce any model in .350 Legend. Long ago I owned a Sako .375 H&H . Easily shot MOA.
Thank you for watching! We are still online to answer your questions.
Why haven’t you addressed the ejection issues with the 85 medium actions? I’m stuck with a defective rifle.
Are you going to release XL actions? 9.3 x 62 and 9.3 x 66? Any safari calibers larger than .375?
@@brendanbeck909 yes but later as we ramp up the production.
@@brendanbeck909
9,3x62 was never an XL Action.
Still Medium.
@@theend___. yes, I know that as I own both a 9.3 x 62 and a 9.3 x 66
Will these rifles come in left handed actions at all?
Like to see a heavyweight barrels with no fluteing .
I was waiting for a model 90 for a while. Never liked proprietary mounts and ejection on m85 was not perfect. I hope Sako can compete with the Fierce Edge rifle price (and Antler Arms in Canada), if not all the synthetic models will be a tough sell. Pet peeve of mine: thread cap on the barrel cannot be bigger than the barrel, it is so ugly (no I don't hunt with a muzzle brake on std calibers).
These rifles look very good, and I am certain that the quality of workmanship is top notch, but you lost me at "pushfeed action" - I had hoped for CRF.
I am with you on that. CRF made with todays technology is a zero compromise situations. Used to be hard to blueprint one if you wanted the very best accuracy, compared to tube in tube actions like the 700. Totally irrelevant in todays CNC actions where any shape can be made to the highest accuracy. Ross Seyfried did a good article on push feed though, for his 416 guide rifle. And he made some points I had not thought of and made my mind more open to them. However, I don't think most push feed rifles are made as though they might need to help you get out of a fight. And if I have my choice, I want a rifle that knows judo, rather than one whose hobby is macrame.
What’s wrong with push feed? Have both styles neither give problems
Good afternoon, I have a Sako S20 Hunter, I have a problem with the magazine not feeding a cartridge. The store is prompted to the bottom of the shutter cannot hook the cartridge. Please help me what to do.
A Sako 90 in 7 PRC would be an excellent North American hunting rifle.
I ordered sako100, hope i get it in 2 monts.
Hi..r u from USA my friend? Asking because no news about this wonderful swich caliber rifles about it's availability here in the USA...neither on the sako website nor on the Beretta website. Any idea my friend?? Would be glad to know where you placed the order. Thank you so much.💐
@@SUNNY-1567 No not from USA, sorry i cant help you. Hope Sako will give you more info in future. Im a Finn so Sako is no-brainer option to me. Still there is long delivery time even in Finland. Demand is high.
It's okk my friend. Luckily sooon after I asked you I found the dealer in USA. Thanks anyways.👍🙂. But have the Sako started delivering the Sako 100 in switch calibers?
Can you top feed a single round into the chamber without pushing it into the clip??? eg. single round feed by setting the round in the feed chamber and cycling the bolt forward??
Yes
If I was to buy a new rifle today, It would be the Mauser M18. $2000 quality and accuracy on an $800 rifle. If I was to buy a nice used hunting rifle, one I would call beautiful but affordable, I would look for a 1970s Brno or Mannlicher. I think Sako has lost its way somehow. It sits in limbo between cheap and excellent.
Sad it is no Safari models and chamberings above .375 launched today
You are bringing back the L461 Sako in 22 and 6mm PPC?
And 6.5grendel
@@Greyzonecompliant in 44 years of shooting, I have never come across a factory rifle that was as accurate out of the box as the L461 in 6mm PPC .
Yes,..but will it cycle?
....love my T3,..cycles every time.
Yes it will.
@@Sakointernational Awesome Dude
.375 , .416, .458 and larger options hopefully also .
Sako has removed the .223Rem from it's lineup. Reason?
My guess is that They are cranking out 308 and the other top selling hunting calibers.
We will have to wait for the special ones until the tooling is paid for. I hope it is successful.
The 223 can not be far behind.
The A7 was a let down stock broke and magazines just lets rounds pop out , needs pillar bedded now due to imprinting in that soft alloy recoil lug.
Weightspecs?
No 30-06 or 270 or 6.5x55?? I like the wood and the lighter weight compared to the S20.
Is SAKO still present in russian market?
I'd like to purchase a Sake 90 Hunter Stainless but I don't see them available in the USA and I've been told by dealers that they are not able to order them. But I see them in stock in many countries. Is there any way to order one in the USA? As a custom rifle or to be imported from a country where they are available? Sako, please make all the models available in USA! Thanks.
No .223 available? 🤔
7mm PRC?
Get some.
bring back the Finnwolf leveraction best action
Completely agree. I own 4 Finnwolfs! Short throw lever action and accurate.Two setup for hunting in each caliber w scopes 243 win and 308 win. Also, own a limited edition matched pair(one of 500 I believe) and never fired. One in each caliber 243 and 308. immaculate condition safe queens we searched for years to find. Totally worth it after we had two for hunting use. Sold three others in order to buy the limted edition matched pair! Anyone else lucky enough to see the special pairs? Not bragging, just fortunate to just see them at all.I do believe they were some of the last ones ever made but not positive. Don't care for 85's....like my finnbear of early 70's bolt action 243. Thinking about a Tikka strongly in varmint style and caliber. Thanks guys for your input!
If you don’t sell that quest ultra in America I will come to Finland and rob your factory.
:D Well it will depend on if Beretta USA, our distributor, will take it into its inventory or not, but the full line up is available world wide.
Can we expect any of the rifles in wood stock to come in mannlicher stocks?
We will see how things develop but not immediately.
@@Sakointernational I want one in 6.5 swede please!!!!!
Sako should get someone with natural opinion to review the new rifle. That sells very well.
This guy is stiff and nervous so in a viewer point of view I wouldn’t buy it. Be natural, be humble and most importantly be honest because Sako is a great brand.
Why do i se ads on this channel 🤔
😳 NO FASTER TWIST BARREL (1 in 8 Twist, like the 6.5's) 270 WINCHESTER??? 😭 WHY? ☹
How can I buy it in my country Belarus? Or, maybe, it can be possible to do in Russia?
You only see it if it wants you to see it
Left handed?
No mention of the 5 shot MOA guarantee?
Hi,
This is our standard way of testing the accuracy of our rifles , so yes. we still proceed with the 5 shot MOA guarantee. 😉
Nature … Australia … everything wants to kill you and can! 😂
... but the most dangerous animals are in Canberra ...
Sign me up for a 300 RUM walnut stock blued barrel I have the 85 in 7mm shoots holes in holes
These black rifles are soulless, the only one I would want is the beautiful model 90 with wooden stock and open sights
Aah, Aah, Umm, Aah, Aah, Aah, Aah, Umm, Aah, Aah...
Nice but front on shots..😢
Guys, as a new potential customer let me share. In your videos I want to see far less video of your sales staff and far more of your product. I am moving on from your video because I am bored. You prob have a good rifle but there are hundreds of rifles that are good. I don’t want video of your sales people.
Looking forward to your next try.
It seems to me sako made the 100 which is hideous. Then turned the 85 into a T3X more than anything for triple the price and called the 90. There was nothing wrong with the 85 apart from the manufacturing quality went out the window for a while. It’s a shame.
I won't ever buy anything made by Sako after my Tika T 3 busted the bolt on lifting the bolt handle then having to deal with the Sako Importer Beretta and Rick Gump the asshole!
I now use CZ 550 in 9.3x62 Mauser for my Alaskan brown bear guide gun and an AR 10 in 375 WSM I built myself.
Lets advertise Sako but wear a Beretta Top.
Beretta owns Sako and Tikka!🤔😳
@@edwardabrams4972 unfortunately
thank you. came here for this
Bergara 14 HMR >
Hunting and killing an animal and saying "Enjoy Nature.....be one with it" seems to me to be contradictory. I for one love and enjoy nature. I do target shooting and my passion is wildlife and landscape photography........I find it way more challenging to capture beautiful images of animals than to shoot them.
What’s you point? 🤯
Hunting is a part of nature. Nature isn't only beautiful, it's gray. Things like cancers and hurricanes are part of nature, and hunting is employed by all meat eater species on earth. Thinking nature is "Oooh look at the pretty flowers and like uhh... The waterfall!" is a very childish worldview.
You can still get a rifle in Australia? 😂
Joking aside, take your damn rights back brothers.
Too bad no left hand
The Adventure and Hunter models will be available in LH.
@@Sakointernational excellent News … In Canada ? Because again on the weekend my local store told me nothing possible
Priced too high for the US market. We have just as good if not better guns for half to a quarter of the prices that sakos are
What US manufactured production rifle is better built than a Sako LOL.
I've had US made Marlin, remington, ruger and savage rifles. My honest opinion is, they are trash in terms of quality control compared to something like Sako, Tikka or other european gun manufacturers like Blaser or Sauer. US made guns are like the Chinese knock off crap you buy from Temu. A good design but very bad quality and absolutely no quality control. US market is problematic because in US ,everyone can buy a hunting rifle, then use it to just shoot beer cans at 200 yards, and occasional deer once a year and call it a superb rifle. It's a different thing here in Europe where it takes great amount of time and money to acquire a gun licence and when we get one, we want a quality product that will last centuries and more.
It was nice owning 2x 85's with sticky stocks,ejection issues & optiflops but now sako are pricing themselves out of the market for nothing new really.
Custom builds can be had for less ...
Pass.
Sako is for city slickers overrated
@TrueNorth13 Sako is for city slickers!!! Watch Hickocks video on the bolt action he would keep out of all of them. Very knowledgeable man
No lefty options. 👎
We will have models in LH. don't worry we will announce them soon.
Couldn’t get someone to string together a logical sentence & pronunciate words correctly? Not a very good example of Australian hunters.
