Default Of these three...

Sako M75 Hunter, Rem Mt rifle or Browning A-bolt stalker which would be your first choice in .280 Rem? I can not find on Sako's web-site that they ever chambered the 75 hunter in .280 but I found one for sale for ~$900 (unfired). Is this a mis-print? The Rem and A-bolt were about $300 cheaper. The $300 is not a huge factor in deciding but a Mt. Rifle/Zeiss combo for roughly the cost of the Sako is obviously a consideration. Is the Sako that much better? Thanks.

Have you shouldered the guns? If one feels better to you then that should be your purchase.

IMO Sako>Browning>Rem.

The Sako 75 Hunter is listed in the 280 Rem. You can check the link for more info. Sako would also be my first choice being that I have a couple of them. I have no experience in Browning's but do like my Remington's... http://www.berettausa.com/product/pr...ifles_main.htm

Even if money isn't a factor for you, I would still have to say the Browning A-Bolt. I can't honestly see why a Sako is worth the extra penny myself. Browning makes an excellent quality rifle.

Obviously your gonna have split answers to this postdue to differing opinions. But you have narrowed it down to 3 of proablly some of the best rifles being currently made. I would shoulder all 3 rifles and see which feel better on your arm and which is more appealing to you. All 3 would serve you wellfor just bout watever u could use them for. But let me leave you with this. As far as accuracy goes Military uses parts from both remington and sako for there sniper rifles so id keep that in mind. But then again browning is a fine rifle too. But its all up to how it feels.
