Sako 85 Carbonlight .308 Win – 20” – Ultralight Mountain Rifle

Selling my Sako 85 Carbonlight chambered in .308 Winchester with a 20” stainless fluted barrel.

This is a true ultralight mountain rifle built around the Sako 85 stainless action and carbon-fibre stock. It weighs 5 lb 7.7 oz with the Talley rings/bases and Sako sling studs installed, and 6 lb 7.1 oz with the Swarovski Z3 4–12x50 mounted.

Approximately 180 rounds fired.

It has proven very accurate with a variety of ammunition, including 165 gr Hornady GMX, 180 gr Barnes TTSX, 165 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip and 168 gr Hornady BLACK A-MAX.

The trigger was professionally adjusted by Corlane Sporting Goods to approximately 1.8 lb.

Included with the rifle:

• Talley 1” lightweight rings, professionally aligned, trued and lapped

• Spartan Precision Javelin magnetic bipod adapter flush-mounted into the fore-end

• Detachable Sako magazine

• Original Sako box

• Sako sling studs

The deteriorated original soft-touch exterior stock coating has been removed and the stock exterior refinished while retaining the carbon-fibre appearance. Before-refinish photos are available.

There is a small cosmetic dent/mark on the trigger guard that does not affect function and is shown clearly in the photos.

$3,800 CAD for rifle, Talley rings and installed Spartan adapter.

A Swarovski Z3 4–12x50 BT L Plex with original box is also available separately for $1,475, or a package can be worked out with the rifle.

I also have a substantial amount of .308 ammunition, brass and reloading equipment available separately to the rifle buyer, including Varget, Superformance, RCBS dies and shell holder, Hornady GMX bullets, Barnes TTSX loads, factory ammunition and brass.
