I can't understand the love for the Sako's. I've owned a few, and although there is nothing wrong with them, there's also nothing special about them. It's like a Tikka in nice cloths, and as a matter of fact my Tikka's have been more accurate rifles in general. I'm sure the only reason they don't build Tikka's with all metal parts is because they wouldn't be able to sell a Sako if they did.
