[QUOTE="Threejs, post: 1278370, member: 90753"] Do not hesitate!!!!!! Those rifles are absolutely incredible. I have owned a couple Sakos and they all shot really well. A good friend of mine owns that exact finnlight and one in 260 rem. His 300 WSM shoots steady 1/2"-3/4" with Winchester supremes. I helped him sight it in the very first time. I shot the first shot ever out of his rifle 3" left of bullseye. He swabbed it (he is a break in freak) and I fired a second shot. It missed the paper entirely. He was so angry I thought he was going to throw the rifle. We walked up to the target just to look and that hole that was 3" left went from .308 diameter to about .500. It shot literally in the same hole. This has been repeated several times. And the best news: recoil is very manageable. I'm not going to say it's absent totally but if you have ever shot a 30-06 you will be fine. Sako makes a fine rifle. I think the only reason they don't get a bigger following is because they are a little more expensive and they offer only basic chamberings. And one last note: go cycle the action once. They are smooth as glass. [/QUOTE]
