[QUOTE="Kingfish01, post: 1278407, member: 100203"] Hello folks, long time lurker first time poster. I currently on a 30.06 which I'm very happy with. However i've decided to get a new rifle in 6.5 swedish ( I have a couple C&R rifles which I enjoy shooting, I'm a big fan of that caliber so I am pretty steadfast on purchasing that particular caliber ). Through my research I have come to the conclusion that I like the Sako 85 finnlight and I also like the Mauser M 12 extreme. Both have synthetic stocks but the Sako is all stainless and the Mauser is not. I'd like to get something that holds up well to extreme weather I'm a big fan of Mauser as I currently have a Mauser model 3000 which I like very much. I also have several WWII k98ks. I understand though that The current Mauser is really nothing at all like the old one. The Mauser has a bolt which locks directly into the barrel, I like that. I am somewhat new to Sako. I'm wondering since their prices are approximately the same, which would be a more reliable and more accurate rifle. Also, I have never hunted with a stainless rifle if I choose to purchase the Sako.
