I don't know about the current Sakos, but I have a L691 which was made in the early 90's. Good trigger, smooth action, rugged, and on a bad day can put 3 rounds inside .75" at 100 yards. On a good day, I have shot groups that were .25" center to center. It is the best rifle that I have owned in thirty five years and it would be the last gun I would give up/sell in my collection.
