Jeff,

My first varmint rifle was a Remington. If it had been a Sako I think I would still have it.

Good luck.

regardless of what you hear in this room, if it shoots 1.5in at 100yds, be happy. I don't know your skill level re-loading nor shooting but as you become more familar with your rifle and reloading for it, the groups will shrink. You didn't say what calibre it is. [Big Grin]
