RE: lookin for that new gun
I have to agree with driftrider. I was also looking for a new rifle with the synthetic stock and s/s barrel. I also didn’t like the one action fits all on the Tikka with the plastic clips. I had looked at most brand and found the Sako 75 to have the best synthetic stock. I was also looking for the 270 Win. but after reading up on the 270 WSM decided to go that way instead. You did say that you’re open to all ideas so take a look at the Sako rifles. Good Luck...
