The Sako 85 Bavarian Carbine in .243 Winchester is a short-barrel, carrying-style hunting rifle that pairs Sako’s proven 85 three-lug, controlled-round-feed bolt with a classic Bavarian walnut stock and open (iron) sights. It’s built as a field-ready rifle for stalking and mountain work — light enough to carry all day yet finished and fitted for accurate, reliable performance.
