I've had a couple of AV's, an AIII, and a couple of L61R's.
Only complaint I ever had was they were plenty heavy.
An AV in a classic stock is about as good as it gets.
I've had all of those too & all were great rifles.
A 270 AV in a McM stock bought new in the mid '80's was my go-to rifle for 15 years; still have it. still shoots extremely well, just heavy as you say.
Wish I still had the L-61R Deluxe in 338 Win though.
Sako's are all very accurate rifles; never seen a bad one.
Never go wrong with one if you want a solid work rifle.
