Don't like Sako. I would rather hunt the pawn shops for 1984 and earlier Remingtons. My 1984 Remington 700 in 06 is leaps and bounds above the quality today, same with my Dads 1979 or there abouts 700. I do love stainless but can't seem to find an early stainless.
Last custom gun with a 1964 Remington 700 SA 6mm converted to a 308 cost me 1500 dollars complete. The action was better machined then some of the new Rems especially the SPS garbage in my opinion. Blueprint an old one and a new one and you end up with the same, its still a Remington. If you want a stainless barrel on an old remington look for a 1960's version 700 bdl in 7 rem mag...stainless barrel sprayed with iron oxide and then blued. They were all shooters. Don't want to mess with that get a custom built Remingtonor buy a Sako. If you like gambling buy the Kimber who knows you might end up with a great one.
