I had asked that same questions of Sako rifles a while back and had got some good response on this rifle. Ended up getting a Sako rifle but haven’t had a chance to shoot it yet. I do find it to be very well made with lots of features I like. Take a close look at this quality rifle before deciding on getting another rifle. If you’re interested in what others had to say go back to page 44 and look at the subject SAKO RIFLES. Good luck in your choice.
