I own several Sako's rifles and my 270 wsm was the hardest to get to shoot around the .5 mark for groups (three shot). It will shoot alot loads less than a inch though. The problem is dealing with [bleep] beretta. I don't think its a big deal that a dog got out but fix it with out charging a arm and leg for it.
I have had a alot of remingtons and brownings that would not shoot four inches at a 100 yards but they did not cost a $1000 or more and they at least tried to fix it (even though they consider 2.5 inches good at a 100).
I have never seen a Sako that would not shoot but I am sure they are out there.
I have always wanted a benelli shotgun but if you get one that don't work beretta will not fix it. They will keep it a year and tell you they are trying to fix it but they just don't give a damn.
I really like sako rifles but just can't stand beretta.
