You stated "While the action of the Sako Kodiak is quite smooth (granted),18 months ago, I paid $821 for my uglier, my Alaskan`s M77 action smoothness, isn`t reeeeally too far behind the Sako " No you didn't slam Sako you slammed...you know that other one. But you still insist, I over paid? Coupled with Gauranteed accuracy equal or better than your handloads, More rounds in the mag..and well it's a SAKO 85 KODIAK! I see why your upset. I understand, you couldn't "afford" it at the time.
