I own an X-Bolt in 7wsm (stainless stalker) and I quite like it. Fits me well, has a stock and pad that really reduce recoil, feeds flawlessly and cycles smoothly, and is consistently sub moa with multiple loads.

It was just under $1k purchased in fall 2014, and I consider it an excellent value. That being said, if Sako made a 7wsm, I would definitely compare feel and fit of them both and get the one I liked the best. In my case for a variety of reasons, I was looking for a 7wsm and the X-Bolt fit me best of the options available.
