I been shooting and hunting with a Sako 75 SS in 338 Winchester since I bought the thing with a tax refund back in 1997. All you need is an allen wrench to adjust the trigger if you need to. As for weight yep it's not light on the other hand its very shootable both on the range and in the field. I have owned other sakos, and you pretty much get what you pay for, a good solid no BS, hunting rifle that you can take out of the box, mount a scope zero it and go hunt. From what I understand the New 85 is going to be even better. You can go wrong with one.
