Browning vs Sako
 

caliber for caliber, which would you prefer and why

RE: Browning vs Sako
 

Both excellent rifles but I would have to give the edge to the Sako.

Especially the NEW Finnlite it looks pretty impressive. The Special locking feature on these NEW Sakos' is also a GREAT idea.

They are a little more money but I think if you can afford it go for the SAKO and if not there is nothing wrong with the A-Bolt either.

RE: Browning vs Sako
 

The sako is definitely made better but does cost a lot more than the browning.The sako 75 is also quite heavy.I personally would prefer a remington 700 to the browning and if I had the budget for the sako would throw in a bit more and have a custom built on a 700 action.

It is very hard to go wrong with a Sako. I'm not sure what a new Browning costs but before I'd buy one, I'd look for a good quality used Sako.

Sako!

RE: Browning vs Sako
 

sako all the way. just pick them both up and work the bolt.balanced and smooth out of the box

RE: Browning vs Sako
 

ive never handled a browning but my sako is so nice realy smooth bolt cycle crisp trigger and now groups pretty good after i got the scope tuned

One of the problems of owning a Sako is that you become dissatisfied with almost everything else. Beware.

RE: Browning vs Sako
 

Have to go with Sako.

RE: Browning vs Sako
 

Just bought a Sako and hope it shoots to my expectations! I am not sold on the key concept part, but I have not read of any dissatissfied people who use a Sako. Guess I will have to learn how to properly pronounce the name.

RE: Browning vs Sako
 

SAKE-O

some people use sack-o but im pretty sure its sake-o

RE: Browning vs Sako
 

I heard Sock-O, prefer Sake-O so lets hear em all.

Go with the Sako. If you want to save a few $$ look at a Tikka. Same barrel and trigger group, different action and a little more utilitarian finish.
