Own many Sakos, and several Tikkas. They both shoot very similar, however the quality of the Sako is defintately much better in terms of the action and stock.

Sako rifles are very hard to beat in terms of accuracy and functionality.
Many folks here on the fire hate the Optilock rings, however I've used them on every Sako I own and never have had an ounce of trouble.

Go with the Sako!
