RE: Looking For Good Rifle
James B... When you buy a sako you purchase a scope and rings and take it out shooting. You can go anywhere in the world without it breaking down. It has a better designed stock then any remington a3 lug action and perfect handling characteristics. IE it is a real gun. No fiddling with bedding, cheap stocks,trigger adjustments . Just take it out and go shooting. Like comparing a Hyundai with a Mercedes. I own NEF,Marlin,Winchester,Remington,ruger,Weatherby and they take a back seat to it.
