That’s a suprise - I’ll have to go look at what they are saying on the other board.

The A7 is a hybrid between the Tikka T3, and the Sako 85 - Mine is a one hole wonder (7+ one hole groups shot on different days - I quit counting after that).
It is one of the most accurate rifles I have, and remember most of mine are built by a benchrest gunsmith.

the only yuck for me is the magazines are plastic so the feed lips on them suck... other than that they are good.

Now the price they are asking for an A7 today... yeah I don’t go there anymore, just pick the 85.
