I am not so discriminating when it comes to buying rifles. Since my Sako AV I have bought a Win 94, Tikka 695, Ruger MKII-paddle stock, Sako A7, Sauer 90. They all shoot reasonably well, better than I am capable of. I can shoot my ugly duckling Ruger just as well as my beauty queen Sauer. The problem is, I can find some appealing features in every rifle.
Having sayd that, the new Sako 85 Classic Deluxe (go to sako.fi) promises to be everything you'd ever want/need in a modern sporting rifle. High grade walnut with palm swell, single set trigger, hinged floor plate, open sights, barrel band. If Beretta was gracious enough to bring it to us mortals, possibly cal 7X64 I'd consider living on bread and water for a half a year to get it.
