I am sure there are a lot of different opinions out there. I posted the other day about getting a new Savage rifle. Since then I have been thinking which usually gets me into trouble. I think this will be my last. ? What do you think is the best over the counter rifle out there. I was thinking about a Sako in the stainless STW. Any pros or cons would be appreciated. THANKS. fws

Well

Depends on what to use it for. Why not a 300 wby sako 75, or a 7mm rem/wby mag?

Sako rifles are nice TIKKA is good bang for the buck. For forest hunting 9,3X62 in my no:1 choice.

Everything depends on what your personal preferences are [Big Grin]

I love my savages for their accuracy. That said I just bought a SAKO 75 in 300 Rum and it shot 1/2" groups out of the box!

Depends on your economics! [Wink]

Johan, I already have two 9.3x62's. I am thinking of selling one of them. Johan don't read this the wrong way cause if I was to have only one rifle it would be my CZ 9.3X62. Thanks. fws

Pop, I really want 7ultra and the only ones I know that makes it is Rem. & Savage. Do you know if Sako is going to make the 7ultra. Did you get the stainless. I have a custom STW I had built but the dad gum thing weighs 12# which is a little heavy to carry around. A lot of people had a lot of good things to say about the Savage. That may be the way to go. Thanks for the input. fws

I don't know anyone who openly admits that his next purchase will be his last!

Rather than offer advice, how about I offer my sympathy?

Pop, I just received a reply from England that said Sako is going to build the 7rum this year, so my next situation is Rem. or Sako. I have been told that either one's workmanship is not up to par. I personally do not know. I do know tgat I have both a older Sako and Rem. that in my opinion is all a person could wantfor the money. Thanks. Any other thoughts will be appreciated. fws

Sako's workmanship not up to par? Are you kidding? I've got two of them and I guarantee you they are up to par. The fit, finish and, more importantly, the accuracy is better than any other rifle I own. I also own a Remington 700 and it will be my last unless things change over at Big Green.

How many times have I sworn that this firearms purchase would be my last?

I've sworn off "swearing off" . . . [Big Grin]

I'm always looking for that next gun. I'm a gun nut. Buying, selling, trading, building is my life's blood. Right now I want to sell the AR that I never shoot and I'm looking at an FAL with an Imbel receiver . . . although a Springfield trapdoor in 45/70 snaps my sox too . . .

I have a few I'll never part with. I'll never sell my Mausers. Never sell my Garand, never sell my 1911's. But I'm not going to swear that I won't buy another gun. It's not realistic.

I really, really like my Rem. 700 PSS. You're looking for a bolt gun that's hot, Rem 700 will fill the bill.

Six months ago I bought guns off the rack. Now I'm starting to build them. Pray that you never get to be pals with a machinist and a gunsmith! [Big Grin]
