I just recently have been informed I will be coming into possession of a brand new in the box sako 85 brown bear in 338 win mag from a friend, I'm still debating if I really "need" it in my lineup and realistically if it will get much use among all my other rifles. If I don't decide to keep it what's a fair asking price given the condition? Doesn't seem to be too many of the around to compare with. Any help would be appreciated. And no i dont have it in yet so no pictures b4 someone asks

Come on man! The mantra is, 'more guns in the locker than I need but not as many as I want.'
But seriously, a .338 Win Mag is as big a cartridge as you'll want for any of the big game critters in Canada - moose, elk, black - brown - polar bear, bison, musk ox or walrus. It is more than enough for deer, except it can be too much of a good thing on the shoulder. You might not need to go on such a hunt, but having one allows you to be a good friend in case someone more capable of such a hunt says something like, 'Man, I got invited to a moose hunt but I really don't have the right rifle. I guess I'm going to have to back out.'

List it on the EE for trade for the one you want, you never know what's out there until you look
