I'm not a fan of the comb or grip geometry of the Compact/Hunter's Edge, so for me, it would boil down to the Classic or the McMillan Hunter. I don't think there is really a bad choice here, but you'd have to handle some stocks to see which feels "right". The factory Sako stocks are going to get you closer to the feel of the McM Hunter, with their palm swell and comb, although some may be thicker through the forend than the McM Hunter. Most modern 700 tupperware is not a radical departure from the Classic shape, except there is a cheek piece and the forends are a touch slimmer than the actual Classic. They handle quite similarly otherwise, concerning proportions and grip. I honestly like both styles, and the Classic is very user friendly to nearly anybody, but the Sako-ish patterns feel like they "fit" me a touch better.
