RE: Sako vs Tikka
I would go with the Sako. But then I own a stainless Sako .300 Wby, so I'm a little biased I guess. Mine has been an excellent rifle, well worth what I paid for it. The only thing I don't particularly care for, however, is the height of the Optilock scope mounts. Even the lows are a little too high for the 3-9x40 Zeiss Conquest I have mounted on it. I may eventually replace the Optilocks with Conetrol. I have Conetrols on my 7mm mag Sako and really like them a lot.
