By FAR SUPERIOR I mean, material and workmenship (calibers all together different subject).


Tight fit, refined finish, overall quality of materials used to build the firearm......................the bolt is like butter, includes weaver style mounts, stainless barrel, etc.


As far as accuracy;

Sako guarantees any of their rifles, including the A7 to shoot 5 shots within a 1" circle (roughly one MOA) at 100 yards.

Your are correct the SPS is a lower end model 700.

I still love my SPS, but it ain't no Sako A7.
