Default RE: Sako AV vs. TGR-S

Thanks Rick,
I have heard that the TGR-S have a problem shooting loose from their factory stocks under recoil due to a small recoil lug. I'm trying to decide between 2 particualr rifles. An AV and a TGR-S. The TGR-S has the factory synthetic stock, removeable magazine, express sights and a 20 inch barrel. It also comes with a full set of dies and brass and bullets for about 100 rounds. The AV has a custom Jim Borden figerglass stock, front sight only, and has the standard length barrel, 24 inch, if I remember correctly. I would want a rifle with a short barrel since most of it's use is in Alaska where hunting involves boats, planes, ATVs and walking with a pack through brush. So if I chose the AV it would involve a trip to a gunsmith. Whatever rifle I select, it will have to feed reliable and smoothly, since sometimes fast follow up shots are needed.
