Description

The SAKO 85 Carbonlight combines classic Sako 85 reliability with modern weight‑saving materials for a versatile hunting and field rifle. Its carbon‑fiber stock uses aerospace‑grade CFRP technology to deliver outstanding rigidity with significantly reduced weight, making long treks and extended carry easier without sacrificing strength or stability.

Built on a bolt‑action controlled‑feed 85 action, the rifle features a cold‑hammer‑forged fluted stainless barrel and a smooth single‑stage trigger system that enhances precision. The detachable magazine (DM) allows quick reloads, while the NS (no sights) configuration provides a clean receiver for mounting optics via Sako’s proprietary dovetail rail. The Carbonlight’s balanced design and high‑grade materials make it ideal for hunting mid‑ to long‑range game with the popular 6.5 Creedmoor chambering.
