I have a sako 75 with the walnut stock. Found the length of pull a little too long and had a pachmayer pad put on after the stock had been cut. The gunsmith had remarked that the quality of the walnut was very nice. I did ask about getting a sako synthetic stock, but when I found out what they wanted for it about $500 well stuck with what I have. So if and when you do locate a walnut stock for your sako 85 I think you'll be well satisfied. Frank
