@Crispy Critter There's quite amazing fishing here, but i wouldn't compare it to US (for what i've seen). And the land of thousand lakes is actually 188 000 lakes.
If this is really Sako, thanks to you all for taking the time and expense to make such a high quality rifle. Not everybody can afford them, but it's great that there's enough of a market that you can afford to go the extra mile in terms of quality. I've admired these rifles for years, every time I shoulder one at SHOT Show or the NRA Annual Meeting. Happy to own one now and do not regret spending the money, not for a second.
Cant imagine how many thousands of people have gotten into guns and shooting because of Hickok45. This man has really helped protect our 2nd amendment more than we know it
I went to a range in my country as soon as I turned 18 becuse of this man. And all I can say is: I've never experienced feeling so badass and cool before firing a real gun.
I must say that 6.5x55 bruises my pacifist Swedish shoulders to much. And it’s not PK enough and that’s why the Swedish military is using 5,56x45 in the AK system Which isn’t even an AK which really confuses people. Anyway I’m gonna head off to IKEA.
The 6.5x55 Swede has taken more Reindeer and Moose than any other cartridge in the Nordics. The Sako full-wood is a classic in any case. A lovely combination. Thank you Sir.
I have been installing a new sewer line by hand this week to avoid spending the $2,000 that I have saved for a new Sako 85. 😏 A man has to have priorities.
The Sako Bavarian Carbine in any caliber, especially 6.5x55 or 260 Remington, is one of the finest built most pleasurable rifles ever conceived. Life's to short to hunt with a cheap ugly rifle...Thats how I justify the finer ones ! Always look forward to your videos, thank you !
Walked into walmart last night for groceries and to my surprise they had guns on the shelves! Got a mossberg 500 28" with wood furniture for $277. They said it has been in the back for nearly 1 year because of the craziness. Love it so much!
Everyone here needs to write their reps on voting against HR127 - Write your senators of your states for Sanctuary 2a. So we can continue having videos like this on youtube and the right to Own, and keep!
Bought my first Sako in 82 at the Heidelberg Rod and Gun club while stationed in Germany. That one was a 7mm Finnbear. That one shoots a one hole 3 shot group all day long. It's been a long running love affair since. I had to get one of these in 6.5..and I did. What a beauty. Couldn't be happier. Just as accurate as my first. I appreciate fine workmanship and so now when I am sitting under my favorite tree in the north woods of Michigan waiting for a deer and I glance down at this beauty it takes me back in time and puts a smile on my face.
I have a 243 sako that my dad bought during the Korean war when he served ,absolutely beautiful this video makes me smile and reminds me of mine and my departed dad ,thank you .
Growing up my stepdad Larry got me into hunting deer and elk. He was from Colorado and he had hunted his whole life with great success. Most of his life he used one rifle for everything, it was and still is a Sako 243 forester!!! He has shot and taken Colorado elk, Oregon elk, Colorado mule deer, Arizona mule deer, Colorado Bear, many coyotes and other wildlife with this rifle. Most of the time in fact probably almost 99.9% of the time it was one shot for all of these species of wildlife. The gun is simply the most well-built, smooth and accurate gun I have ever had my hands on. I have compared it to many other rifles in my time that I have shot and handled and nothing even comes close to the action of this gun and Sako rifles in general. It is deadly accurate, reliable and I’m confident that it can take any animal on this planet with this caliber. I don’t remember what it cost him back in the day but it was not cheap. It is made of the finest quality materials for that time. And has held up all these years, and the best part is he still uses it. I would pick this gun over any rifle in the world that would be offered to me. If I remember right they started making these rifles to compete with the Winchester model 70 that was extremely popular back then and owned the market. They’ve gone through some changes over the years but they are still incredible rifles and I believe they’re starting to get even better again. I have a finnlight 2, in 6.5 x 55 Swede and it is simply an amazing caliber. It has almost no recoil but the results are incredible. Very smooth shooter, very reliable and lightweight. My advice is if you can pick a rifle and only one rifle to last your lifetime that would do it all and never fail you I would go with a Sako
@@johngonzalez7967 dang, lol.. All seriousness though, the only bolt action rifle I own, is a ruger 30-06.. have a lever action 30-30, and a Henry lever action, chambered in 357 mag. But, those took years to get. You went balls deep off the rip. Wish I had the spare cash to buy one now. Technically, I do. My wife would kill me. Priced one of these recently. Expensive!
@@brasstacksboxing409 it was 30’years ago when I was 14, my Dad got got from a friend for $50. It had a cracked stock but worked just fine. Blew up many milk jugs testing ballistics.
Had a CG rifle from 1900 built into a sport rifle by a ‘seasoned’ gunsmith. New barrel (from Sako) new furniture, and a Lyman peep site. A beautiful piece and very accurate rifle.
@@EfftingES just look up your own country's gun laws, it will maybe take a little longer before you can actually purchase the gun in person but you can most likely own a gun through a gun license or whatever, so go try to get one because if you don't you'll always just be sitting here drooling over these beautiful gun instead of shooting them because you most likely do have some possibilities to get a gun

Growing up with no real father figure I have watched this Chanel since I was 13(2012) and I have learned so many important things from this Chanel. Thank you "hickok 45" may you live forever and teach many more people like me the things our fathers couldn't
Holy Smokes!!!! As always , great video!! Great review!! You’re a real inspiration to so many shooters out there. Thanks for all your time, talent, and most of all enthusiasm. God Bless, and Stay Safe, Always.
I do love the rifle... a beautiful piece chambered in a sweet round. I had the same negative view of the Mannlicher stock as a younger guy. I got over it...
Thanks Hickok45!! Love the 6.5x55 Swede as well. My Sako 85 is the grey wolf 6.5x55 but I have being wanting the Bavarian carbine since they were introduced. Very fine choice!! Beautiful rifle!
Great uncle passed and i got his custom sporter 96 with 13 1/4 leanth of pull exhibition Grande walnut stock. I've only put 2 rounds threw it, both on x at 200 yards. Easy to use.
Beautiful rifle. The “Swede” has been a favorite of mine. I have taken whitetail deer, elk, antelope, and feral hog. It is a long range killer and hits hard. I hunt with my custom Mauser.
I can hear the quality everytime you chamber a round. Sako has been on my list since I was a boy and the 6.5x55 is a great cartridge. That's a very nice gun Hickok.
I have always loved the full stock rifles, never owned one however, at 60 I am now considering one of these, I think these 85 Bavarians are gorgeous, simple, elegant, and superbly made.
6.5×55..... I love it. Dad had a model 94 swiss mauser which was a carbine with full wood stock. Miss that gun and would love to find another one. God bless all here
I've had Sako rifles my whole life. They are a cut above and a blind man could pick one out of a group just by feel. The Finnish people are a country of riflemen and Sako exemplifies that.
I bought a rifle almost identical to this but it's a BSA stutzen in .243 win that was forty years ago and it still works great. There's a lot to be said for keeping things simple. Just the bare bones no frills, just quality.
Quote from wikipedia: "Sako is the largest non-American manufacturer of hunting weapons in North America." And also: "95% of the firearms are exported, almost half to the United States and Canada."
I think the quote is a bit misquoted? How can Sako be the largest non-American manufacturer of weapons in North America? I really can't say I've seen a Sako marked "Made in USA."
I've never really been into guns, been afraid to ever shoot one, still haven't to this day. This man, however, has changed my mind. I wanna go try out some fun revolvers and get as good a shot as this wise, kind grandpa. Love this guy
A buddy of mine has an 85 in 300 win mag, a stainless version, with a custom dial Leupold vx5. It's a very well built rifle and very well balanced, awesome hunting rifle!
Awesome. I was recently gifted a Sako A II in 243 and cant wait to shoot it. It is beautiful looking and I'm told they are machines very well and group well and are top of the line firearms. Cant wait to shoot it.
That's a beautiful piece of craftsmanship. Sometimes called the mannlincher stock , just the oiled stock is a pleasure to look and touch. Have a Tikka hunter 6,5x55 in walnut and although the finish is not the same as Sako is still superb, and accuracy is outstanding.
Thank you for this entertaining presentation. Thats how it should be, fun and relaxing. Love the Sako rifles, the design and boltaction just goes hand in hand.
I have so wanted one of these. In my favorite caliber even. They have come an long way since my Finnbear full stock was made. It had two pieces of wood with a barrel band to hide the joint. I had it restocked in Germany when I lived there and had it made one piece.
I couldn't get a SAKO 75 or 85 Bavarian, so I got me a CZ 550 FS in . 308 What a sweet shooting rifle. Half the recoil of a H&K G3 and much less than the AR-10. And best of all, under 1" five shot groups at 100 yards from a cold barrel. So I sold my SAKO 75 Stainless.
I just went back and watched that comparison video $400 vs $2000 gun a Ruger and the Sako. If you only had one rifle to buy, save your money and buy the Sako. Quality counts. I remember when you bought that one!
I live a few kilometers from Sako headquarters where their rifles are manufactured, my brother worked for them for 8 years :) I've watched Hickok shoot guns for some 8 years now and I haven't seen him shoot Sako before. Good stuff

I was already into guns but id say at times he might have been an indirect negative advocate to my wallet. But Im not complaining.
I always stop by this page for a gun review before I buy a gun Im interested in
@John Grit If someone tried to harm him or his family he would defend them and would end the threat with accurate fire.
you are 100 percent correct
I went to a range in my country as soon as I turned 18 becuse of this man. And all I can say is: I've never experienced feeling so badass and cool before firing a real gun.
6.5x55 Swede is a gift of the Gods and the Sako a perfect delivery systerm.
AMEN and on the 7th day 6.5 swede was!
Once there was this coyote and then, there wasn't!
I must say that 6.5x55 bruises my pacifist Swedish shoulders to much. And it’s not PK enough and that’s why the Swedish military is using 5,56x45 in the AK system Which isn’t even an AK which really confuses people. Anyway I’m gonna head off to IKEA.

Wise man
HR 127 is so extreme it won't likely go anywhere but that's not to say we should become complacent. Passable gun legislation is probably on the way.

Is it any different compared to the 6.5x54?
True in case of nowaday rifles. A couple of decades ago you got Mauser 66, Sauer 80/90, Krico and Steyr with Stutzen stock's.
I love the caliber and the rifle, but those stocks are just damn ugly to me.
@@cs-rj8ru : In german language countries still popular.

I have so wanted one of these. In my favorite caliber even. They have come an long way since my Finnbear full stock was made. It had two pieces of wood with a barrel band to hide the joint. I had it restocked in Germany when I lived there and had it made one piece.
I couldn't get a SAKO 75 or 85 Bavarian, so I got me a CZ 550 FS in . 308
What a sweet shooting rifle. Half the recoil of a H&K G3 and much less than the AR-10.
And best of all, under 1" five shot groups at 100 yards from a cold barrel. So I sold my SAKO 75 Stainless.
I walked into my local gun store and saw a 85 Bavarian full stock in 308 on the wall loved it had to have it ended up purchasing it
I just went back and watched that comparison video $400 vs $2000 gun a Ruger and the Sako. If you only had one rifle to buy, save your money and buy the Sako. Quality counts. I remember when you bought that one!
That is an utterly gorgeous tool.
Bless you my friend, you are the best channel on this platform
Well...Greetings from Bavaria as well!
I live a few kilometers from Sako headquarters where their rifles are manufactured, my brother worked for them for 8 years :) I've watched Hickok shoot guns for some 8 years now and I haven't seen him shoot Sako before. Good stuff
You've missed some videos, it appears.
@@hickok45 Well it seems I have indeed :) I'll save them for a rainy day
Just bought a mint condition model 75 in 6.5 x 55 - love it!
Love the wood grain on this rifle. Yup...life IS good!
Life is good! Gorgeous firearm, thanks for sharing. I like that round also.
Beautiful quality rifle plus a great cartridge, you can't beat that...
So satisfying to see the hit right into the bullseye!
