I have had Sakos BLRs,Model 88s.To me the 88s were clunky and just not a handy rifle.I liked the BLRs which all shot stupid accurate.The Sako was smooth but not super accurate.I recently purchased a Henry Long Ranger in 308 .This LVR has no iron sights and the comb of the stock is very high making it perfect for a scope.The lever is a short throw.Very smooth and ejects with vigor.The trigger from the factory is 2 pounds 12 ounces.My best group so far is 1 1/2 " at 100 yards.I have only shot 15 rounds through it so think it will do much better when I find out what it likes.
