Description

The SAKO 85 XS Bavarian Custom .223 Remington blends the rich heritage of European rifle craftsmanship with cutting‑edge precision engineering. At its heart is the Sako 85 XS bolt‑action, famed for smooth cycling, a rugged controlled‑round‑feed mechanism with three locking lugs, and a two‑way safety that locks both trigger and bolt handle. Chambered in .223 Remington and fitted with a 22.4‑inch cold‑hammer‑forged barrel, this rifle provides balanced handling and stable accuracy for small‑game and varmint hunting.

The Bavarian Custom variant elevates the rifle with a high‑grade walnut stock featuring a sculpted Bavarian cheekpiece and comb, a Schnabel fore‑end, and traditional checkering — all oil‑finished for a classic look and dependable performance in the field. A free‑floating barrel ensures barrel harmonics are optimized for precision, and a detachable fixed magazine provides smooth feeding and ease of reloading.

Whether you’re in pursuit of varmints or simply appreciate a premium‑crafted hunting rifle with timeless style and modern performance, the Sako 85 XS Bavarian Custom delivers on all fronts.
