RE: SAKO Rifles
I haven't bought a Sako since Beretta acquired the company, but unlesssomeone has personal experience to the contrary, there's simply no reason to believe the quality has gone south. Personally, considering Beretta's vast resources and history of making fine firearms, I tend to think qualitymight evenbe somewhat better now.
Customer service, however, might be something else. Beretta does not have a very good reputation in this area, at least not on internet talk forums. I have no personal experience with it other than when I had to order some new ring screws for my Optilock mounts. The guy I talked to was courteous and the screws arrived in a timely manner, but my God,$4.00 for each screw?Over $30for8 little screws?Talk about robbery.
