I have a Sako 75 .222 with a clip,no problems.I was going to take the big {stupid}leap and buy one in a 85 in a .204.Then I was reading that the clips are different!My 75 model you just pull forward at front of clip and it drops,no problem.I was reading where this guy said you had to push the clip up as well as pull back on lever,saying it basically takes both hands to get the clip out!Anyone get to handle or buy a short action Sako 85 yet?
