Default Can't decide

I'm looking to purchase a new rifle in 300 Win Mag.I have this gun in a Browning A-Bolt Boss and I don't like the length or loudness of this gun. So I'm going to get the same cal. but in a diffrent make. I've looked at the following
Remington 700 Bdl S/S
Winchester M 70 Shadow S/S
Savage 116Fss
Howa 1500 Hunter S/S
Sako 75 S/S
I like the Sako, but is it really worth that much more? Also does the Tika come in a 300 Win with a composite stock and stainless steel? Any information would be very helpfull.
Thanks, Todd

Todd,
Savage is a good rifle, and I really like the looks of some of the Winchester Model 70s, but from the list you noted I'd have to go with the Sako. Is it worth the extra money?
Yes, I think so. Sako quality is hard to beat, and I've never encountered one that wasn't very accurate as well. Yes, I'm sure they make a lemon once in a while, but so
does everyone else.
I have an older model Sako, mannlicher stock carbine, in 308Win. It has proven to be one of the most accurate rifles I've owned, and I've had no problems with it of any kind.
SAKO = A GOOD GUN!
(I like the current "Hunter" model)

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.

Rebel Hog here goes

Remington 700 Bdl S/S ..you might want to look for a leftover since they don't make it anymore

Winchester M 70 Shadow S/S...Might be Ok in a 300 win mag but a horrible POS in a WSM

Savage 116Fss--No comment

Howa 1500 Hunter S/S ...best buy of the group by far

Sako 75 S/S very nice gun can't outshoot my Vanguard though and just as reliable
