Here is the background to my "need" for another rifle.

**Currently have a 7mm-08 that shoots very well but just can't get past the guns features (don't like it). I have a lot of reloading gear for this setup.

**Have a Mt. Lion hunt in a year that the rifle would be used for and would like to watch my rifle weight.

I am fortunate to own rifles in the mid-upper caliber range so I'm looking for a more sensible caliber chambered in a sensible rifle to carry.

I wish I didn't have to say this about my beloved M700, I'm looking for a factory rifle that requires less tweaking and is ready to hit the range. Nor do I want to get into the cost of a full custom either.

I am leaning towards a Sako chambered in 7mm-08 but I'm not very knowledgeable on the difference between the A7, Finnlight or the SS Synthetic. I see the A7 has features to make it competitively priced. However, I'll save a little longer if the other models warrant the price increase.

I'm 0-2 with a good Kimber. FYI

Thanks in advance
