What do you think of Sako?

Sako makes a great rifle, at least IMHO. The rifles that
I've run across, mostly 75s, have been respectably
accurate right out of the box. They tend to be a little
pricey, though. And, with recent-production rifles, there
is that whole stainless-steel-barrel fiasco.

For considerably less money, the other Beretta-owned
rifle, Tikka, is a pretty good buy. Both the Sako and
Tikka are manufactured at the Sako plant in Riihimaki,
Finland, at least since 1989. They wear exactly the
same barrels. It's the action and stock that differ.
