Which is better Sako or Tikka?
I would stick with Tikka due to that fact it’s more customizable (i.e more aftermarket parts). Sky is the limit on what you want to do with those tikkas. Sako 85 gives you a better stock , better recoil lug, and no plastic magazine, but you lose the drilled and tapped receiver, which limits your scope mounting options.
What is the difference between a Sako 75 and 85?
The 75 is a pure push feed with with bolt face fully enclosing the cartridge rim. The 85 has a cut at the bottom of the bolt face that allows the cartridge rim to slide under the extractor during feeding. Not quite CRF like a Winchester, but close. Otherwise there are only minor differences between the two.

What’s the difference between a Sako 85 and 591?
