Bolt lock? If so, subtract $100

I dont know why....I have two model 75's one with and one without the bolt lock.. I like the bolt lock.

6.5 seems to be a desireable cartridge and I would think that you shouldnt be shy about asking $1500. The factory iron sights are very handy and I am pretty sure if you shopped around for a similar set of sights installed with the same quality that the factory achieves...would cost at least $200.

Nice rifle.
 
The bolt lock is ugly, and unnecessary (not to mention just another thing to fail or ruin a hunt) - and is expensive to get rid of. There is a reason sako ditched it....

I transport firearms with locks...the Sako bolt lock is infinitely less 'ugly' than a trigger lock or a cable lock. And even without the comparison...I do not find them to influence the aesthetics of the rifle one way or the other. Contrary to what some people say they have experienced...mine hasnt failed or malfunctioned nor does it change the functional operation of the rifle in any perceptible way (compared to my non bolt lock 75)...and while the next question is 'what if you lose the key'...then I have a long walk home because its on my car keys. I also have a several spares and the key number recorded because the good folks at Abloy can produce a key pretty quick for one if the code is provided..if you are familiar with Abloy locks you will understand they are a quality product (not available from home depot etc).. I certainly understand that people dont like them but I sure dont understand why..maybe because they think they are of the same quality found on remingtons?.? ('Jlocks??) they are not.

They're equally obtrusive and as double gun mentioned, they lower resale value. When you remove a trigger lock, it's gone. The bolt lock is still visibly there, even if disabled or unlocked.

I don't need or want unnecessary components on my firearms. I don't use trigger locks or any of my non restricted firearms, because they aren't required. When I see a locking bolt or a muzzle brake on a firearm, that lessens the value to me.
 
Some people get it, others don't.

Key Concept Bolt Lock SUCK !! IMO. Also just another area to get all gummed up/froze up if it happened...plus what happens if you loose you r key ??

I don't have them on any of my Sako m75 rifles either. IF, a big IF, there was a m75 rifle with the Bolt Concept and it was a caliber I wanted but had trouble findng it, I would may consider it.

I would LOVE to have a 6.5x55 in a Sako m75ss or Greywolf. Missed out on one last year.
