[Last Edit: Zeebz]

Looks like Sako has discontinued the 85 series and replaced it with the new 90 series rifles: https://www.sako.global/series/sako-90

They're starting off with 7 models:
Quest Ultra
Quest
Peak
Adventure
Bavarian
Hunter
Varmint

Calibers range from 22-250 up to 375 H&H Magnum. No US price announced yet but it is supposed to start at 2,500 euros if that's any indicator.

They also got rid of their fixed ejectors in favor of dual plunger ejectors like on the TRG, making it a pure push feed rifle.

I’d like to see the barrel profiles. Looking for a handy 6.5 creedmore that can handle a little brisker firing schedule than a standard hunting rifle. Had been looking at the Bergara Crest rifles…

I have more than a few bolt guns, but this is, by far, the smoothest action. The barrel is a Douglas Premium chambered in 6mm Remington.

I'm really eager to get one. I'm working an a M16A4 build right now, then need to save up and buy another battle rifle for my collection since I sold my SCAR 17 which will probably be towards the end of the year. Next year, though, I'll probably be ready to buy something in the Summer and I'll get the 90 Varmint in 6.5 Creedmoor with the set trigger.
