This site is full of Sako guy's so no matter what rifle you compare to a Sako the other rifle will lose ( a pile of very vocal Kimber guy's on this site too which I find hard to understand givin Kimbers track record) .....I do understand the Sako fans as I have owned around a dozen or so brand new 75/85's over the years and they all shot fine but some of the standard action rifles did not eject properly ( most would hit the bottom of the scope) however I have also owned several Browning X-Bolt rifles and none of My Brownings ever had any function isssues at all and as I have posted on here before the most accurate rifles right out of the box I have ever owned have been Brownings and as you said they are cheaper to buy which is a plus in My book......I am going to go against the grain here and advise you to go with the Browning.......Good luck......Hb
