My .223 Sako 75 Hunter has been an amazing rifle since day one. It has the habit of shooting several loads and bullet weights to the same point of impact, something I find quite pleasing. The action feeds cartridges so smoothly I almost have to look to see if I really put any in the magazine. It is the most accurate bolt gun I own and many local coyotes have been on the receiving end of mine.
My only complaint (a major one) is that I don't think the bluing process on the barrel was properly 'stopped.' I tried every rust preventive known to man during my first few years with the rifle and after a month or so a rag would come off red when wiped on the barrel. Finally tried paste wax and the problem, for some reason, totally disappeared. The action and bottom metal did not have this problem. Years ago I had a Rugar 77 with the same issue. These are the only two rifles I have ever had rust issues with in 50 years of gun ownership.
I also have a Sako AV 30-06 with a Classic stock that I enjoy greatly.
