My limited experience is that the old Sakos (L591/691s) are very solid. Put mine through a lot of abuse in the last 10 years and no hiccups. Had it go in the creek with me a couple of years ago thrown about 15 feet. Took it home, cleaned it , shot it that afternoon-no problems.

It would be hard not to argue that the 1898 Mauser the 1903 Springfield and the 1917 Enfield at at the top.......at least they're proven in an environment like no other!!
