Sako A7 is drilled and tapped . Browning Abolt bases fit it

I like the magazine,action opening much better on the A7 , the synthetic stock is flimsier then the TIkka . There is not a 500 dollar difference between both in stainless, I suggest someone shop around a little better.

Why Tikka went to that drop magazine instead of the 595/695 is beyone me. It is the biggest detractor for me even more so then the plastic bottom "metal"

I think you may have misread My post, I said they were both drilled and tapped, a feature I like in both rifles......Hb


I did indeed, sorry about that.
