The modern European style of the Bavarian Carbine is attractive. Yours is exceptional in the grain character and satin finish.
The S&B tops it off nicely.
Your reticle choice is excellent for that caliber and barrel length.
Sweet gun!
What shall be your quarry?

Hello KutC,
I noticed the iron sights you have on this carbine. I am late to the Sako 85 bavarian scene but have had some luck. What I've had difficulty with is finding sights. I recently purchased the last set of front and rear sights for the Sako 85 bavarian from Brownells. The front sight appears to be the traditional adjustable iron sight (not like the one on your carbine). The rear sight, however, appears to match the one you have on your rifle. It's different (forward leaning) and thought I would ask you more about it before I return it or mount it on a bavarian I recently purchased that did not have front or rear sights.
Talk to you soon,
The Lorax

The sights on my carbine are the same as on the Black Bear and Arctos. The sights you purchased appear to be a Bavarian front and a Black Bear rear. You need to decide which style you prefer.

I prefer the bavarian. With short supplies I may hold on to both sets hoping I can find the right sight. The mounts appear to be the same dimentions and that's worth a lot. Some have suggested Williams sights. I like your front bead sight is the the Arctos? Thank for your input!

 

[KurtC]

The Arctos and the Black Bear came with the express style bead and V sights.

Gorgeous carbine! My AV .338 has similar safari sights although they angle backards. Both styles are much more attractive than the ‘oem’ Williams sights.

Yep, gowyo has the rear sight I'm looking for. Now if I can just find one. Cheers!

I found two on Brownells for my AII deluxe and my AI hunter bring backs. The original buyer had removed them. The single mounting screws are too long, but there isnt enough thread to file them down, i posted on this before. I posted the part number too.

Rear Sight - Looking for A- series rear sights

Howdy all, I've been looking for rear sight assemblies for an AI and an AII. Does anyone have a line on any takeoffs? Pretty sure they are the short checkered, trapezoidal models, however, do the sculpted base model rears of late A's through 85's interchange? TIA, Gary
