The Sako products are worlds ahead of Remington.

I won't say the Sako will out shoot the Remington right out of the box like the others stated. I will however say the Sako is a much nicer gun. The difference in price will be in fit and finish, a smoother/shorter bolt throw, and higher overall quality. I too like the Sako over the Remington for those reasons.

I think they are both fine rifles well suited for their intended use. A very good friend just sold a older model 243 Sako VArmint rifle with the Bofors barrel for 1000 bucks and the gun looked brand new and shot beautifully.

Easy answer Sako all the way.A Remington 700 can't compare to a Sako.
