I'll take the safety factor of a factory 700 over the possibly better more reliable extraction of the Sako just because I value my saftey, I have a few customs with Sakos and they work fine but not any better than my factory 700's which I have never had an issue with....... but I have never tried to achieve 30-378 velocity out of my 30-30!
Exactly. Never really understood guys trying to turn their 30/06 into a 300 Mag especially when most of them owned several guns anyway. Besides, anytime I tried to boost velocity by hot rodding a load, it usually shot like crap anyway.
