I have been looking for a new hunting rifle and doing as much research as possible. I have been looking at Winchester, Kimber, and Sako. The Sako 85 Grey wolf interests me because of the laminated stock and their great reputation. Kimber has a great reputation too, evidently. Never shot one.
The rifle needs to stand up to severe weather changes and rough country. I like accuracy and strive for it in every weapon I build. Stainless and weather proof is the mission on this one.
I have already been advised that the Kimbers are good tools, and I am leaning that way, but I love my old Winchesters and the Sako Grey Wolf has really caught my eye. I have laminated stocks on other rifles and love the warm feel of wood in a weather proof design.
Which one would you buy? Why?
I know what you are thinking, I should just buy them all. What harm would it do? If so which one first?
