The receiver lengths of Sako 75 are I, III, SM, IV, and V.Īvailable mounts and more information about Sako 75 can be found on our website: The tapered dovetail receiver is pretty much the same among the rifles, the difference is that Sako 75 comes in 5 receiver lengths, whereas Sako 85 comes in 6 receiver lengths. Sako 75 which was released in 1996, on the 75th anniversary of the company, is the predecessor to the current line of Sako hunting rifles (the 85 models). Rifles that have the same mounting surface as Sako TRG-S M995 Magnum: Rifles that have the same mounting surface as Sako TRG-S M995: Sako L46 was presented in 1946 and was one of the first Sako rifles with a tapered dovetail and many Sako rifles, particularly hunting ones, followed in its footsteps.Īvailable mounts and more information about TRG-S M995 can be found on our website: Then it is up to the user to do the research, whether the mount will fit their rifle in case they do not have the newest rifle model. Rifle mounts manufacturers mainly use only present-day Sako hunting rifles (Sako 85) to designate which mount fits which receiver length. The most modern premium hunting rifle, Sako 85, comes in XS, S, SM, M, L, and XL lengths of the receiver. Later, Sako simplified naming even more, as it produced different receiver lengths under one single rifle name, which is the case for Sako TRG-S M995, Sako 75, and Sako 85. They were named L46, L461, L61R, L579, VL63, and after that, they got a bit more reasonable when naming the following rifles: S491, M591, and L691, because with these rifles, at least the last two digits remained 91 and the first digit stood for the XS size if it was 4 (L461 and S491), the S size if it was 5 (L579 and M591) and the SM size if it was 6 (L691).

An interesting thing to point out about Sako rifles is their confusing naming system, which to us, appears to be completely random for the early rifles. Sako 85 has an almost unlimited number of configurations, as it comes in 6 different receivers, 22 different variants, numerous barrel twists, etc.

With this, Sako achieved mounting system consistency, so even mounts made for today’s “Sako 85” series of rifles fit the receivers of older Sako rifles.
