I haven’t looked into it but there are some posts floating around the Sako Collectors forums and some other forums where guys are saying the Sako 85’s have identical thread pitch to the T3’s. Would be a question for your smith or some more internet deep diving.
I probably wouldn’t rebarrel a rifle that shoots sub MOA at 400 yards and is already under 6 lbs bare rifle. All up to you though.
Had some PM's about rifle only so wanted to open it up for everyone else also. I've also dropped the price on either scope packages that are available...
Rifle and both sets of rings only: $2,100 shipped
Rifle and Meopro 4-14 x44 Package: $2,500 shipped (includes both sets of rings).
Rifle and Meopro 6.5-20 x50 Package: $2,700 shipped. (includes both sets of rings and Kenton Custom Turret).
I'll also include 5 brand new boxes (100 rounds) of Hornady Superformance 129 Grain SST ammo. This is a $150 value I'll include for free.
Still for sale. Someone make me an offer. Rifle and rings only offers welcomed as well.
Only rifles I’m interested in a trade plus cash is quite specific since I’ve gotten a lot of those offers. Ill only trade for a Tikka T3X stainless in .260 Rem or a Sako Finnlight in .260 Rem plus some cash.
