Pretty funny to me how as the OP the train of conversation has drifted to "look at me I have a Sako 75 that works like it is supposed to."
Hang around a while and you'll see quite a few threads that tend to meander, if you catch my drift......
And FWIW
I did get two bad Sakos in 338 Federal, the other two dozen or so from Riihimakis to 85's have been fine rifles.
