| I have a Tikka whitetail hunter in 338 WM and a T3 in 243 win, both triggers are excellent and both are accurate shooters. I like the style of the T3 a little better than the hunter, they are both VERY light. I have been toying with the idea of adding some weight to the 338s stock but Im hesitant to mess with it too much. |

| Tikka t3 isn't out in stainless yet. I look at a Sako 75 finnlight 300 mag weights 6.6 lbs fluted barrel nice price at $1000 plus mounts, Tikka t3 out the door for $485 includes mounts. I've got a t3 in 300wsm and it groups 1/2" for 3 shot at 100 yds. Tough choice. |

| I've got two Sako 75's and I'll be adding more in the future. I've never enjoyed a rifle as much as I have these. They fit well, they shoot well and they never fail to function properly. |

| While I am a huge Sako enthusiast, for a rifle you plan to drag around in rain, snow, and mud, I think I might opt for the less expensive but still excellent Tikka. After all, even if it is stainless and synthetic, I would still hate to abuse an expensive Sako when a Tikka that costs several hundred dollars less an will perform similarly is available. |

| I have a Sako 75 in .338 Win Mag and really like it. I have only shot it at the range so far, but will be taking it to Newfoundland this September. |

| I have the Sako 75 Hunter in .280 and it is one of the few rifles that I own that will shoot good groups with nearly any type of ammo that I try, any required zero gunsmithing tweaks after the purchase. Just put the scope on and pick the ammo that you want to use. Excellent rifles, in my opinion. |

| Right now Cott Firearms in Gilliam Mo, has Sako 75 Stainless in 7 STW, and 7 ULTRA for $649. IMHO you can't as good a rifle for anywhere near this price -it's several hundred under wholesale normaly Sako 75's are $1000ish. The Tikka's are very nice for a lightweight less expensive rifle. If you wanted to save money and have an accurate light rifle try the Tikka. If you want the best buy a Sako 75. Tikka's must shoot 3 shot 1" groups at 100 to leave the factory, 75's must shoot 5 shot sub 1" groups to leave the factory......DJ |
