You know I was sooo close to buying the Sako FinnLight when I bought this Kimber and the biggest reason was accuracy. The Kimber was surely tougher in feel and I was having trouble liking the fluted barrel, but the rep for accuracy had me leaning Sako. But I am tickled pink over the function and accuracy of this here Kimber its as good as I could have expected and especially with the bullets I ultimately wanted to use. It dont get much better on a rifle purchase than where I am at right now. I hope a lot of guys out there arent swayed from the Kimber by the problems with some of the early production models cuz they'd be missing out on a kick ass rifle.
