Here's my take. I've got a Kimber 84M wood stock. Its a very good rifle, lightweight and shoots well too. I like it alot. I've also got a Sako (75 not 85). It's a better rifle than the Kimber. It's smoother, has a better trigger and also shoots great. I like it somewhat more than the Kimber... but, to be honest, both serve my needs well. My last rifle purchased (ordered but not yet received) is a Cooper M52. I expect it to be better yet. Get the drift? Everything comes with trade-offs and +'s and -'s. Get what you like, feel comfortable with and can shoot. Then just practice and have fun. I don't think there is any such thing as a perfect rifle. To each his own.
