Sako is really your Huckleberry. There are plenty of good actions out there and CRF is probably over emphasized for it's supposed advantage. Plenty of Sakos have made it to Africa and there aren't any cemeteries for all the dead guys using push feed guns.

For simplicity, fit, function and quality, you really can't beat the Sako, whether you get the rifle or just build from the action. If you want a classic rifle ready to go, the Pre-Garcia with the third lug is a great way to go. If building from the action, I would still opt for the pre-Garcia action with the third lug, but wouldn't walk away from a standard Garcia action either.

The hunt for the rifle is more fun than the conquest of the same. Enjoy your time deciding, but seriously give a Sako or Sako actions a good look...
