Either way is a very good choice. I was lucky enough to get a chance to shoot a Sako 75 and Weatherby Mark IV. I was also looking hard at two other very good models at the time, the Sauer 202 and Steyer SBS. I shot several different rounds thru both. I ended up going with the Mark IV as it was the better of the two as far as accuracy. The shop owner thatI bought it from is a dealer for both Sako, Weatherby and others. He shoots a Weatherby Accumark himself. I think the two are very close in many ways. Both have very good quality and have smooth actions with short bolt throws.

I also have a Browning A-Bolt and Tikka Whitetail Hunter. I like these guns as they are also accurate and well made. Neither can out shoot my Weatherby.
