[QUOTE="zog, post: 1824520, member: 102742"] I shoot my 85 Finnlight 300 wsm better than I thought I could shoot any rifle. I can get about 1-1/2" group off shooting sticks and a 1" off a boulder at 100 yd. Personal preference - I do not like soft rubber pads. They feel funny and stick to loose clothing when I'm setting my shoulder. I have a brake so recoil is no issue. I hunt with ear protection in the left ear though. I use the set trigger at the range and I really like the option of using it when I have a solid rest while hunting. Shooting sticks - usually no set trigger. Prone off backpack with time to set-in and relax - set the trigger, hold the crosshairs, and just think about squeezing. I hope it goes without saying, but you need to be sure to practice a LOT with the set trigger before you try to take an animal with it. When I'm hunting I take several dry-fires with it before I load the chamber. And the more I work and use the Sako, the more the quality impresses me. A Tikka is a VW, well made, respectable, good factory QC, good designs, dependable, great dollar value. Sako is an Audi, everything the VW has with extra quality in all components. The only thing I don't like is the rubber inserts in the stock. The stock is actually quite well made, feels good in the hands, and cheek is OK. Why did they think they had to ruin the stock with those silly glued in rubber grip styling thingies? Those are just stupid. And they only offer it that way, so I'm looking for aftermarket stocks. Tikka is easier to find aftermarket components (stock, etc) than Sako. I like my Finnlight I so well that I just bought a Finnlight II. But I'm a little disappointed with my decision to I spend the extra $$ for the II. I wanted the reduced rubber styling and adjustable cheek, which is nice but I probably could have done that with a pad. Other than that there is no difference from the I but the added useless cerakote. Before I bought it, I tried to buy a Finnlight II stock to put on my Finnlight I, but Beretta will not sell me one.
