Could someone enlighten me? :confused:

What is the difference between Sako 85 and A7? A7 is not listed on sako site, but has its own site. and the price differential is substantial.
So... what's the catch?
Thanks.
 
Here is a review/comparison of the A7, the 85, and the T3.

The A7 has the plastic shroud, triggerguard, and magazine like the T3, but the 3 bolt lugs and the open top receiver like the 85. The stock is more like the T3 than the 85, and all 3 models use the same barrels.

The T3 uses one action for all cartridges, with the use of bolt stops for different lengths.
The A7 uses 2 actions, one for short cartridges, and one for standard and magnum cartridges, again with different bolt stops.
The 85 uses 5 different actions, each tailored for various cartridge lengths, ie: 223, 308 based, 30-06 based, wsm, and full length magnum cases.
