+1 on that.

I don't think my Steyrs will have the demand/popularity or resale value of the Sakos, but I'm finding that my Steyr's will shoot with the Sakos.........

Just fer schitz n' giggles,

here are two groups that were shot off the bench at 100 yds by my nephew a couple weeks ago. He had the chance to go hunting with his boss and needed a rifle. I piled 7 or 8 rifles in the ol' fliver and met him at the range. Mind you now, he has never shot a center-fire rifle..........
