I have owned three Sakos and four Tikkas. One Sako was a stinker and none of the Tikkas were stinkers. Therefore, I'm partial to Tikkas over Sakos...and, they're cheaper. If, as you say, you beat up your rifles, why buy a fancy and expensive Sako? However, if you really want a Sako, then get one, but I wouldn't sell two good rifles to get one rifle, quality unknown. I have done that more times than I care to recall in the past.
