Description

The SAKO 85/S RH .243 Win Carbonlight combines European craftmanship with modern, lightweight materials to create one of the lightest hunting rifles in the Sako 85 lineup. Built on Sako’s reliable Model 85 bolt action, the rifle uses a carbon‑fiber stock with aerospace‑grade CFRP technology to reduce weight while maintaining exceptional rigidity and strength — making it ideal for long hikes and field use.

The 20.4‑inch fluted stainless barrel is cold‑hammer‑forged and free‑floating, enhancing heat dissipation and barrel harmonics for consistent accuracy. With no iron sights (NS), the rifle puts optics first via Sako’s proprietary dovetail rail, and the detachable magazine (DM) allows fast and secure reloads in the field. The stainless finish and carbon stock combine durability with corrosion resistance, while the smooth single‑stage trigger and controlled‑round‑feed bolt deliver reliable performance shot after shot.
