Default Sako 85 value

Am looking for a figure on a used Sako 85 Varmint .243 in a factory laminate stock. Stock is a little banged up from hunting but it shoots well. Rough number with rings? Thanks

$1700 - 1900 is what I normally see them listed for. Hard to find a used 85 in any cartridge or configuration for much less.

That wouldn't be an ultralight for sure.

No it a beast. Guy that owns it bought a Tikka t3x in .223 and never looked back. He must have lugged that beast a 1000km over the years of coyote hunting.

Condition will be a big factor to many buyers. If it is badly marked up, the price will take take a good hit.

Used 85s are often in the $1800 to $2000 range but at that price most guys will opt for buying new.
