RE: Sako vs. Browning
Sako all the way!!!! but you should consider buying a regular Sako 75 instead of the finnlight. In a couple of years your kid will be all grown up and maybe he will prefer a regular size/weight rifle.
Browning is not in the same league as Sako, but it is agood rifle anyway. It all depends on how much you want to spend.........Is Sako worth the extra 400+ bucks?......In my opinion, yes........
