I agree that Remingtons can be as accurate or even more so than anything else out there. My last 700 was quite accurate (after it was tweaked with bedding, etc...). However, for me at least, accuracy is only one part of the puzzle. I prefer the Sako 75 not only because its overall quality is better, but because it has design features that I prefer and are not incorporated into the Remington 700.

Here's what I'm talking about:

1. A safety that blocks the firing pin. Remington safeties do not.
2. While I would prefer a claw extractor, the Sako extractor is much better than the one found on Remingtons in my opinion. I had numerous problems with my last 700 failing to extract spent cases.
3. I prefer the fixed ejector of the Sako versus the plunger type.
4. The Sako detachable magazine is about as good as I've seen.
5. The Sako has the integral dovetail scope mounts. I'm not sure if this is any kind of advantage, but I like em'.
6. The Sako bolt has a shorter throw and the handle is part of the bolt, not brazed on like the Rem.
7. The Sako trigger is one of the best factory triggers I've seen.
8. This is strictly personal preference, but the Sako stock fits me better.

So, there you have it. Though, I like the overall better quality of the Sako, it's the features above that really set it apart from the Remington 700 if you ask me.
