Sako 85 Long Range

[1899]

I'm not seeing many reviews on this rifle. Is that because they are kind of an "in between" type rifle? I mean not a tactical or competition style rifle and not and inexpensive entry level rifle like a Savage LRH? Is it because the .300 WM has a 1:11 twist and guys that go for a .338 Lapua prefer to spend more money to get a tactical style or competition grade rifle? I don't know why the .300 would come with an 11 twist so I'd get that, but the .338 seems to be a good upgrade from a LRH for a fellow that wants to do that type of hunting. Or even for someone who wants higher quality but doesn't want to spend $10k on a setup.

Folks who do the long range and extreme long range hunting tend to use custom built rifles, that could explain the lack of reviews. Nothing against them, they are fine rifles and I love my 85 Grey Wolf, but they are too expensive for most hunters and not customizable enough for the ultra long range guys. Not a very big market for them.
