I think the Sako A7 (not the Roughtech or Big game series) is one of the most under rated/under appreciated rifles out there. They are very accurate, seem to be trouble free and can take the abuse out in the field. However, a lot of people think they are boring since they are accurate (read to be expected), pretty plain stainless or black matte metal finish and a plastic stock. I believe this is where the thought process of why not just buy a Marlin XL7 and save the cash which isn't an unfair argument really.
