Help with a sako

I have abandoned my remington roots and bought a sako 85 in 300wsm. The gun was nib at my local smith for sale at a more than reasonal price. So I cough up the money with the thought that this would be a great flip, sell the gun make a few bucks, but the more I hold the darn thing and pretend to kill 180 class whitetails with it the less I want to sell it. So before it becomes not new in box I would like to get some of your opions on this rifle.

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.

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

Sako makes a kick-ass action and rifle. Keep it!

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!!
