Thank you baby Jesus for Sakos!
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

That's a killer setup. Congrats on a world class rig. Can' wait to see how it shoots.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

I know, I sold my Extreme Weather to buy this. I sold a beautiful Dakota (wood stock) to get the Extreme Weather. My daughter gave me a Hunter, FLEECE lined soft case to put this Sako in for trips to the stand and back to camp. I guess I need a Ruger American with a Redfield revoloution to use on rainy days. GOSH, I'm so goofey, anal, crazy, etc etc. I'm sick and need help.....

If it shoots even half as good as it looks you've got nothing to worry about. Congrats.

You can't hit the target if you don't take the shot.

Life's too short to hunt with an ugly rifle. I hope it shoots as good as it looks, but it's a Sako, so it won't take a lot of hoping.
Merry Christmas.
