im your huckleberry Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 (edited) Here we go again getting the wife hot under the collar, but i live for that. Just purchased a Sako 85 Bavarian in 30-06 that includes the opti-lock system. Now since i spent a whack of change its save for a while longer just to get the optics for it. Any suggestions for an optic that would accent that rifle? Kind of looking forword to squeezing off a few rounds and then useing the single set trigger for big game hunting only should be a heck of a shooter I'm hoping.

wtnhunt Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 This post is worthless without pics. lol. Congrats on the new sako, I am kinda fond of nikon optics. A gun like yours would definitely call for upper end like the monarch line. Of course you could go with swaro's or zeiss if you save a little longer.

wtnhunt Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 Very nice rifle, let us know how it shoots for you. Know you reload, might wanna check out the hornady eld-x's in 178 grain, have had good results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
im your huckleberry Posted July 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 You bet will give them a try. The 30-06 is supposed to be very accurate caliber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russelon Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 Looks nice. Is it comfortable to shoot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
im your huckleberry Posted August 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 Let you know soon russelon, take the cleaning kit to the range and run the barrel in. Just mounted a Monarch 5 on it 2.5-10x50. We'll see tonight how it is for gathering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 I doubt you will be disappointed in the monarch, very good scopes imo. And with a 50 mm objective it should be really nice and bright. Hope she is a shooter. Still contemplating here on a future 30 caliber, -06 or 308.
