No problem by me, to each his own.
I won't be using either of those, good luck

A lot of these European rifles have pressed in barrels, I don't know if this Sauer is one of them, But I would make sure before I bought it, Because a 6.5 PRC gets the barrel shot out pretty quickly.Sako has reputation so you could throw the dice hoping to get a good one. My edumacated guess is that the Bergara is likely to outshoot it. But as long as you are spending that much, why take a chance? Why not go with the sure thing that will not disappoint you?

The synthetic adjustable cheek piece can be adjusted in height and angle along with a recoil pad. Forened features a bi-pod...battlehawkarmory.com
True, The Fieldshoot has heat fitted barrel so it becomes inseparable from the receiver. But the Classic and Classic XT and camo models can be rebarrelled if I remember correctly.A lot of these European rifles have pressed in barrels, I don't know if this Sauer is one of them, But I would make sure before I bought it, Because a 6.5 PRC gets the barrel shot out pretty quickly.
That rifle will be useless after 1000 rounds of 6.5 PRC! That's a lot of cabbage to lay down for a rifle that can't be re-barreled!True, The Fieldshoot has heat fitted barrel so it becomes inseparable from the receiver.

I bought my Sako's pre Berretta so I have never experienced these customer service issues. The funny thing is, Sako and Tikka are made in the same place.
Right, so if you want to rebarrel, buy the Classic or Classic XT.That rifle will be useless after 1000 rounds of 6.5 PRC! That's a lot of cabbage to lay down for a rifle that can't be re-barreled!
Oops I was wrong. SAUER WILL REPLACE BARRELS. Even the heat pressed barrels can be replaced.Right, so if you want to rebarrel, buy the Classic or Classic XT.
Doesn't matter if you want to use a custom barrel.Oops I was wrong. SAUER WILL REPLACE BARRELS. Even the heat pressed barrels can be replaced.
