It looks alot like a Tikka to me. I like my Tikka alot but the Sako has a higher price tag then my Tikka did.

I found the 85’s resembled the Tikka and this new Sako sure looks similar. I much prefer my Sako 75’s...

The bolt looks just like the Tikka bolt!

Maybe so but the Sako has three locking lugs where as the Tikka has only two...

It does, but not sure I would want to spend an xtra $500 over the price of a Tikka to get an xtra lug!

There’s a little more to it then just appearance and one locking lug between the Sako & Tikka...

Looks to me like it is a tweener gun, Not a 75 or 85 Sako but yet more than the T3. Actually reminds me of my Sako TRG-S that I shoot. I have both the Sako's and the Tikka's and i can tell you there IS a difference. just go to your local gun counter and feel them both. The Tikka is a excellent gun for the money, probably the best actually. The Sako however, is a whole new catergory. The 3 lugs will help with accuracy if they are lapped properly and just about every Sako i have seen is lapped well enough to not mess with even for competition. Nice weights on these new A7's. Cant wait to see one!

Now only if they had a thumbhole stocked model..............
