I am finally getting round to selling my Sako 85 hunter in .375 H&H. I got this rifle brand new for a grizzly hunt last year and now find myself looking to other things. I would like to sell the whole lot (except the scope & sling) together. This rifle has been professionally bedded by Gillice Gunsmithing in Rotorua. Taking the action in and out of the stock to put it in the case means the rifle does need to be sighted in again. I have done this several times and never needed to adjust the scope more than about 4 clicks.
The setup i am selling includes:
Sako model 85 Hunter with iron sights (RRP~2650)
Sako 85 Bolt disassembly thingy
30mm Sako Optilock scope base & rings (xtra low) (RRP at least $300)
Plano 42" All Weather case (incl. 2 off Abus padlocks using identical keys) (RRP at least $300 + $40)
Leather belt ammunition pouch (hold 5 rounds) (RRP i have no idea)
2 off boxes of unfired Norma .375 H&H 300gr Oryx ammunition (40 in total) (RRP ~ $160)
22 off hand loaded rounds (Norma brass, 260gr Nosler accubonds, ADI 2209)
approx 76 twice fired Norma .375 H&H cases (fired in this rifle).
I have a bore guide for this rifle somewhere here as well that i will throw in if i find it.
Rifle is in imaculate condition with just some minor scratches on the back of the stock. This rifle has not been a safe queen. I have fired about 300 rounds through it. I shoots like a sako should (about 1 MOA, some groups smaller some a little larger, though i freely admit my shooting is largly to blame here).
I am after $2800 for all (except the scope & sling - these are not included) pluys shipping. Obviously proof of firearms license will be required. PM me if you are interested or ask any questions you like. In terms of trades i would consider a Sako 85 finlight in medium action or a high end scope or spotting scope.
