| I was a winchester guy til I shouldered a Sako75. Bought it immediately in 300WSM. It fits me like a glove, minimal felt recoil (but I have real long arms and the raised cheek and palm swell helps here). Stuck a swaro on it and its a real pleasure to shoot, plus its very accurate.
If you can deal without the extra $ keep it. You will never look back. Plus you can sell the safe decorations to make up some of the $ difference. BTW mine is a finnlight |

| IMO, sakos are among the best production rifles made. If the rifle fits you well, keep it, you won't be sorry. I have 4 sako 75's and sure do like how they work. |

So before it becomes not new in box I would like to get some of your opions on this rifle.
Was in my local dealer and spotted a Model 700 XCR rmef for 999.95  . The 85 is a bargain for what they sell for |

| If you can make money, flip it. It's not about Sako being a great rifle. They are wonderful. What you have is a tangible asset that you can make money from. You can have another rifle 30 minutes after you make the money. Cash is KING!!
