Sako 75 - 02/01/19
I know someone selling a Sako 75 for $950. It's a stainless synthetic model and appears to be in excellent condition. I handled it and it felt nice and the action ran smoothly. He's not the original owner and hasn't shot it much, but he says it's been very accurate for him.
On gunbroker the 75's tend to go for more money. Do you think this would be a fair price? I know that I'm not giving you much info to work with.
I had been thinking Tikka as a rifle for deer, bear, and elk in the Southwest, but the idea of having a Sako appeals to me - I guess at least part of me is an elitist. The interesting thing is that I find more Sako complaints online than Tikka complaints - mostly weird ejection issues. For someone like me who isn't afraid of plastic parts but would like to own a nice rifle that will last a long time, is a Tikka the better choice? It is lighter and cheaper, although the stainless version isn't that much cheaper.
