Description:

Sako 85 Bavarian – 6.5×55 Swedish (Right-Handed) – New Old Stock

Offered for sale is an exceptional Sako 85 Bavarian bolt-action rifle, right-handed, chambered in the classic and highly respected 6.5×55 Swedish. This rifle is new old stock, unfired, and preserved in its original factory wrapping and box, and it includes all original accessories and the factory manual. Factory-original Bavarian examples in this condition are increasingly difficult to find.

Sako rifles are internationally recognized for their precision machining, exceptional accuracy, and uncompromising quality control. The Sako 85 action is widely regarded as one of the finest modern controlled-round-feed sporting actions ever produced, blending advanced engineering with traditional European craftsmanship. The right-handed configuration offers traditional ergonomics and handling that have made the Sako 85 a favorite among experienced hunters and collectors alike.

The Bavarian configuration is one of Sako’s most distinctive and desirable designs, featuring classic Central European styling and a Bavarian-style stock that provides excellent balance, natural pointability, and refined aesthetics. This configuration is especially appreciated by those who value heritage styling paired with modern performance.

This rifle comes from the now-discontinued Sako 85 line, a factor that continues to enhance its desirability and long-term value. As remaining inventory diminishes, new old stock, unfired examples in original factory packaging are increasingly sought after—particularly in traditional European chamberings such as the 6.5×55 Swedish.

Chambered in 6.5×55 Swedish, this rifle delivers outstanding ballistic efficiency, mild recoil, and exceptional accuracy. Known for deep penetration and excellent terminal performance, the 6.5×55 has a long and proven history in sporting use and remains a preferred cartridge for deer-sized and larger game where legal. Its efficiency and shootability pair exceptionally well with the inherent precision of the Sako 85 platform.

Whether you are adding a refined Bavarian-configured Sako to your collection or acquiring a lifetime hunting rifle preserved in factory-original condition, this Sako 85 Bavarian represents craftsmanship, tradition, and enduring value.
