Damn, that is an uber healthy buck Flave!
I don't hunt the in the mountains but still like a lightweight because of the never ending breaks up and down country where I hunt mule deer.
A heavier rifle wouldn't be a benefit so I don't carry a heavier rifle.
That and I like a bipod which makes shooting a lightweight much easier.
People always say, "Oh heavens, why put a bipod on a lightweight...you're defeating the purpose and ruining the balance...."
Bullchit, why take a 7.5lb rifle and put a bipod on it and make it even heavier?
What was the subject?
Sako versus Kimber?
I have an 85, A7 and two MT's. The Sako's ended up in the back of the safe, the MT's up front.

Yeah but....you also drink cheap ass gas station beer and shoot a .270... Your credibility is in question... And the fact that 'flave agrees with you REALLY puts it in jeopardy......

I've had both not in .260 but a 84m in 7-08 and I have sold all the Kimbers and now have 2 sako finnlights for a production rifle in my opinion there is nothing close to a finnlight the ease of trigger adjustment the fit and finish sometimes I have to open the bolt back up to see if it chambered the next round it's that smooth I would buy a finnlight 7-08 I'd i was you you will not regret it and if you change your mind and want to sell it I will buy it or someone else on here will

Stump270 is giving good advice. It's hard to get rid of a Sako 85 once you get your mitts on one.

I have not owned a Kimber rifle(except a Yonkers K22; it is excellent); but my Hunter Stainless Model 75, .270, might be the last rifle I would sell. It is totally dependable. I have owned it for 12 years with same scope/ring setup and take it out before the season; shoot (3) Barnes VOR-TX 130TTSX under an inch for confirmation and put it back in the case. It just works and looks good doing it: ![[Linked Image]](http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x400/cruiser111/P1020744-1.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x400/cruiser111/DSC01982.jpg) Got that in 30-06 and I bought 2 addtional magazines for it  just in case fooking Beretta decides to discontinue them. Cruiser is that 75 in an Edge or standard weight Mcmillan? Thanks

That 75 is in the original Sako French walnut stock provided with the Hunter Stainless. That rifle is too good as it is to change a thing.

Yeah I would not change it either, I thought for some reason(eyesight) that it was a Mcmillan with a red pad maybe because you have posted pictures of them in other posts. I have the 75 SS syn in 06. It is a bit porky but is a tackdriver with anything i shoot out of it so far.
