i bet they shoot good. i shoot a pre-garcia .243 varmint and does great.

I agree, would be a great gun. Seems a little heavy for extended carry though.

Hey Jim. I'm shooting one in .204 Ruger. Great rifle.

I have a few 75s and they are nice in every way. The 85s have a few changes like stock, magazine release

Not an 85, but an A7 Varmint. Just bought one from Cabelas, one of their specials. .243, tan synthetic stock, 24" fluted barrel and detatchable mag. Nice package, and 700 bucks less than the heavier 85. Sighted in in with some factory FP 70gr. NBTs and put 3 in 5/8". Will try to get pics up with handloads. Can't complain so far.
